Jakob Nowell Leads Sublime’s Return, Shows Star Power at Coachella 2024


Sublime played their first major show in years at Coachella 2024, with Bradley Nowell's son Jakob filling in for his late father on vocals

Jakob Nowell stepped into his role as the lead singer of Sublime before thousands of fans on Saturday night, as the reunited band rocked out on the Coachella stage. The group powered through many of their best-known hits, including “What I Got,” “Summertime” and “Wrong Way.” Fans began to stir themselves into a mosh pit, skanking spiritedly to their 1991 song (and cautionary tale), “Date Rape.” Gaugh and Wilson first performed with Jakob at a small club show in L.A. last December, but that was nothing like what this moment at Southern California’s biggest festival meant to Sublime’s devoted fans.
