Californian ska-punk band Sublime have announced a New Zealand tour – a first for Aotearoa.
The band will kick off at Christchurch’s Wolfbrook Arena on 8 April, followed by Trusts Arena in Auckland on 10 April and finishing up at Wellington’s Brewtown on 11 April.
Formed in Long Beach, California, Sublime are one of the most influential ska-punk bands of the 1990s.
The anti-establishment bent of Cliff’s music gave a voice not only to the hardships faced by Jamaicans, but to the spirit and joy that persevered in spite of poverty and oppression.

Tickets go on sale 12 February at 7pm.
