Bay Dreams may not be returning to Nelson in 2024 but music lovers will be instead be treated to the iconic songs of Sublime next summer.

Californian ska alternative rock group Sublime with Rome, along with Kiwi favourites L.A.B, are playing at the Trafalgar Centre on Friday, 5 January.

Sublime With Rome is a collaboration between Eric Wilson, formally of the American ska punk band Sublime and singer/guitarist Rome Ramirez.

They mainly perform songs by the original Sublime such as ‘Wrong Way’, ‘Santeria’, and ‘What I Got’.

L.A.B have sold out performances worldwide, and having nearly polished off their sixth album, fans can look forward to hearing some fresh new music.

The gig replaces the ever-popular Bay Dreams, which is heading to Queenstown this summer for the 2024 South Island installment of the festival.

Festival director Toby Burrows hinted that Bay Dreams could make a return to the Top of the South again at some stage but plans to “take each year as it comes”.

Tickets for the gig go on sale on 31 August from Loop.
