The VIP tickets for Saturday night’s concert are sold out, but general admission is first-come, first serve in the grandstands as fans welcome Sublime with Rome to the stage.
The band has had so many songs through the years, with perhaps the Santeria being the biggest hit. Do not be surprised if that is the last song on the setlist Saturday night.
