Shortly after the announcement, the band confirmed that the younger Nowell would be joining original drummer Bud Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson for the desert festival as well as other dates this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has so many layers for me. On a spiritual level, my father passed away when he was 28, and I am 28 now. It\u2019s an honor to carry on with our family\u2019s name and legacy with Sublime,\u201d Nowell said in the statement, adding that he has been a professional musician with his own projects for the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>Nowell&#8217;s own project, Jakobs Castle, released &#8220;Catch Me&#8221; on Wednesday, the latest single from debut album &#8220;Enter: The Castle,&#8221; which is set to drop April 12.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn a personal level, my Uncles Bud and Eric are meant to play these songs and the fans want to hear them,\u201d Nowell continued. \u201cI\u2019m excited, nervous, thankful and humbled all at the same time to step into this role and start this new chapter. It feels like my big crazy family is finally back together and I couldn\u2019t be more happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The news comes a month after the trio performed a benefit show together at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles to a sold out crowd of just over 600 people.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SUBLIME FULL SET (JAKOB NOWELL\/ERIC WILSON\/BUD GAUGH)TERAGRAM BALLROOM LOS ANGELES CA - 12\/11\/23\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZMocgoeWzuQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The newly formed Sublime also announced it signed a new management deal with Regime Music Group co-founder Kevin Zinger and Vandals bassist Joe Escalante.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley fronted Sublime until his death in 1996. Jakob was not even a year old at the time.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, Gaugh and Wilson joined up with Rome Ramirez to continue the Sublime legacy. After a legal dispute with Bradley\u2019s estate, the group became officially known as Sublime with Rome in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Gaugh left the band at the end of 2011, saying that he regretted using the Sublime name for the project and apologizing to fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I would be playing music with Eric again at some point, that was never a doubt,\u201d Gaugh said. \u201cBut to be playing music with Eric and Jakob, it\u2019s very reminiscent of those early days in Brad\u2019s dad\u2019s garage in a surrealistic kinda way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson and Ramirez continued putting out music and touring as Sublime with Rome. The group toured through 2023 and released the \u201cTangerine Skies EP\u201d on Nov. 3. But on Dec. 18, one week after Nowell\u2019s benefit show with the band, Ramirez announced his departure from the band.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
