Sublime have announced their first studio album in 30 years

Sublime have announced their first studio album in 30 years, Until The Sun Explodes.

Due out on June 12 on Atlantic, the 21-track record features guests spots from the likes of Bad Brains’ H.R., Fletcher Dragge of Pennywise, FIDLAR and more, as well as – of course – it being the first proper recordings of new frontman Jakob Nowell, who joined the band in 2023.

“The last Sublime record that will ever be made is self-titled,” the vocalist explains. “There’s no replacing history, period. Until The Sun Explodes the album is an epilogue, and Until The Sun Explodes the single is the epilogue to the epilogue. It is a tribute to the expansive works of Sublime, it is an acknowledgment for all that my father [late Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell] has done for me my entire life, and most importantly it is a thank you. I love you dad, and I owe you my life.”

“This song is the title-track of our new album and it expresses the gratitude we all feel as well as our intent for the future of our band and the music we love!” shares drummer Bud Gaugh. “Until The Sun Explodes is our reality. Thank you for enjoying life with us!”

“I am really excited about the album that’s coming out,” adds bassist Eric Wilson. “I think it will set the tone for the summer of 2026!”
