An Ode to Long Beach Legends
On Saturday, October 11, Long Beach’s own musical roots come roaring back to life at the Gaslamp Restaurant & Bar. “Don’t Push,” the acclaimed Sublime tribute band, returns to the city where it all began, delivering a night drenched in ska, reggae, punk, and nostalgia. With doors opening at 6 p.m. and the music kicking off at 7 p.m., it’s more than a concert—it’s a celebration of Long Beach's cultural pulse.
The set promises fan favorites from Sublime’s golden era, including "Santeria," "What I Got," and "Wrong Way," performed with the fiery spirit that made the original band iconic. But this tribute isn’t a copy - it’s a love letter. “Don’t Push” doesn’t just play the songs; they embody the energy and ethos of Sublime, reminding fans why the music still hits as hard as it did in the ’90s.
More Than a Tribute: A Full Sonic Experience
Adding depth to the night are special guest acts performing the sounds of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Radiohead, creating a three-part tribute to the icons of alternative and rock. Whether you're reliving your high school soundtrack or discovering these bands for the first time, the lineup offers a soundscape of gritty guitars, laid-back grooves, and lyrical rebellion.
The Gaslamp is no stranger to high-energy shows, but this one promises to stand out. With its intimate venue layout and full kitchen and bar, the experience caters to both diehard fans and casual listeners. Seating is first come, first served, so early arrival is recommended for the best spots.
Why Sublime Still Matters
Sublime wasn’t just a band—they were a movement born from the heart of Long Beach. Blending genres effortlessly, their music captured the discontent and sunshine of Southern California. Decades after front-man Bradley Nowell’s untimely passing, their songs still score backyard BBQs, road trips, and quiet nights on the bluff.
Tribute acts like “Don’t Push” help keep that legacy alive—not as nostalgia, but as living, breathing music that still speaks to new generations. And in a city that watched Sublime rise from garage sessions to global charts, this homecoming feels especially poignant.
Grab Your Spot—Tickets Are Going Fast
Tickets can be purchased online through Gaslamp’s website or third-party event platforms. Given the popularity of Sublime and the legacy they hold in this city, the event is expected to sell out. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just looking for a Saturday night with soul, this tribute is worth making time for.
