Break out your Bradley Nowell shirts, kids. Sublime with Rome has been added to the lineup for Tampa’s Summer of Rum Festival, which happens in downtown’s Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park on August 31.

Sublime with Rome has been touring for the better part of a decade and features bassist Eric Wilson plus frontman Rome Ramirez playing songs popularized by pioneering Southern California reggae-rock band Sublime, whose original singer Bradley Nowell died in 1996.

The band joins two already announced acts — old-school reggae outfit Inner Circle and reggae-rock band The Expendables — already slated to play the Labor Day celebration of rum.

Tickets for the event (which features 40 different varieties of rum) are on sale now and will cost alcoholics $15-$85. More information is available via summerofrumfest.com.
