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.

PRIZE SPONSOR: Edwards Marketing, 410 Jubilee Ln., Germantown Hills, IL. 61548   

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.
