The announcement arrives as the group continues its latest era, with Jakob taking on a central role in carrying the band’s sound forward. Members of the band said the album was created with respect for Sublime’s history while also reflecting where the group stands today.

The record represents a rare moment for a band whose influence has remained strong long after its original run. Rather than revisiting the past, the new material is intended to build on the musical foundation that helped define Sublime’s blend of rock, punk, reggae, and ska.

One of the album’s key songs holds personal meaning for Jakob, who has spoken about the connection between the project and his father’s legacy. The release also highlights a unique collaboration between generations, with longtime bandmates and a new voice working together on the next chapter of Sublime’s story.

The show is scheduled to take place during San Diego Comic-Con week and will bring together performers connected to the film’s well-known soundtrack. Among those expected to appear is Stan Bush, whose songs became closely associated with the movie and its lasting popularity among fans.

The concert is one piece of a broader anniversary campaign built around the animated feature. The celebration also includes plans for a remastered soundtrack release, special merchandise, and theatrical screenings designed to revisit the film’s legacy with longtime audiences and new viewers.

Released in 1986, the animated movie has remained a significant part of the Transformers franchise. Its soundtrack, filled with rock music that matched the action on screen, continues to be remembered by fans decades later.

The upcoming concert offers another way for audiences to reconnect with a film that helped shape a generation of Transformers enthusiasts.

In a new online post, the band used imagery connected to the 2001 release and directed fans to sign up for more information. No specific details have been confirmed yet, leaving open whether the announcement will involve a reissue, special merchandise, live plans, or another anniversary project.

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was released on June 12, 2001, and became one of blink-182’s defining albums. The record helped push the band further into mainstream rock and pop-punk, following the success of Enema of the State.

The album includes several of the group’s best-known songs, including “The Rock Show,” “First Date,” and “Stay Together for the Kids.” Its mix of fast hooks, humor, and more serious moments made it a key release for early 2000s rock fans.

For now, the band has only teased that more information is coming.

During a recent family podcast discussion, Sharon pushed back against claims that the posthumous project is a cash grab. She said the family does not need money from the avatar and described the effort as a way to keep Ozzy’s memory alive for future generations.

Jack Osbourne has separately explained that the technology is not intended to work like an open chatbot connected to the internet. He said the project would rely on a closed system built from approved and accurate Ozzy-related material.

The project has drawn wider attention as artists’ estates and families face new questions about AI, likeness rights, and digital recreations. For the Osbournes, the stated goal is to keep control over Ozzy’s image and voice rather than allow others to misuse them.

The avatar is expected to appear in the U.S. and U.K. as part of a planned digital tribute.

McCreary said the track started with a riff McKagan sent him in a voice memo. That idea led to a studio session with McKagan, Brendan McCreary, and Smith, where the group shaped the song together. Slash later added his guitar parts after returning to town.

Cool Kids follows McCreary’s interest in mixing cinematic composition with heavy rock and metal sounds. His work often brings together orchestral ideas and guest musicians from across the rock world.

The song centers on individuality and being comfortable with who you are, while also serving as a notable collaboration between musicians connected to Guns N’ Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The performance records for Dylan’s catalog list “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere” as having returned that night, marking its first live appearance since 2012. Dylan opened the show with the song, giving longtime listeners a notable moment from a catalog that often shifts in small but meaningful ways from one performance to the next.

“You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere” dates back to 1967 and is tied to the Basement Tapes period, when Dylan recorded informal sessions with The Band in Woodstock, New York. The song later became familiar to a wider audience through Dylan’s own releases and through versions by other artists.

Its return stands out because Dylan has performed the track more than 100 times over the years, but had left it out of his live shows for more than a decade.

Solari was best known as the frontman of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, a band that built a devoted following without relying on the usual music industry playbook. Public tributes from fans, artists, and cultural figures pointed to the same idea: his songs became part of everyday life for generations of listeners.

Born Carlos Alberto Solari, he became known for sharp, cryptic lyrics and a reserved public image. After Los Redondos ended in 2001, he continued recording and performing with Los Fundamentalistas del Aire Acondicionado.

Solari had lived with Parkinson’s disease in recent years and stepped away from touring. His influence remains clear in the scale of the reaction to his death and in the place his music still holds across Latin American rock.

The event’s lineup reflected the show’s broad theme, with Bruce Springsteen joined by Jon Bon Jovi, Public Enemy, Jackson Browne, Mavis Staples, Gary Clark Jr., Darlene Love, Nils Lofgren, Stevie Van Zandt and others. The Disciples of Soul served as the house band for the night.

The concert focused on songs and styles that helped shape American popular music, moving through rock, soul, folk, blues, gospel and hip-hop. Springsteen appeared throughout the evening in several collaborations, while Public Enemy represented hip-hop with Fight the Power.

The two-night Music America event was tied to the center’s grand opening week and to the larger celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

The reaction began during the band’s May 31 show, when part of the crowd started chanting U.S.A. after a screen displayed the group’s crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam. Robinson answered from the stage with a critical comment about the chant, which led to boos and some concertgoers leaving.

In a June 3 interview, Robinson said the moment was taken out of context and pushed into a larger argument online. He said he supports the right to speak freely, including for people who disagree with him.

Robinson also rejected the idea that his comments were meant as disrespect toward veterans. He said he would not dismiss people who have served or made sacrifices.

The Black Crowes are currently on their Southern Hospitality Tour, with more dates scheduled through the summer.

The holiday was started by Beatles fan Faith Cohen as a grassroots tribute to the band’s music, message, and cultural impact. For June 25, 2026, Apple Corps is honoring that effort with a personal endorsement letter from CEO Tom Greene and a special online release tied to one of the band’s most famous moments.

To mark the occasion, a newly colorized 4K version of The Beatles’ 1967 performance of All You Need Is Love will stream free on YouTube for the first time. The original performance aired during Our World, the landmark live satellite broadcast that reached audiences around the world on June 25, 1967.

The song became closely linked with the ideals of peace, unity, and shared humanity. Nearly six decades later, the new release connects that historic broadcast with a fan movement built around the same spirit.
