(Reuters) Sublime, the chart-topping punk-reggae group that split up more than 13 years ago when its lead singer overdosed, is gearing up to play its first official gig with a new vocalist at a festival celebrating cannabis.

The trio, famed for such radio hits as "Date Rape" and "What I Got," will perform at the Smokeout festival, to be held October 23-24 at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, Calif., 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

Sublime's original lead singer, Bradley Nowell, died of a heroin overdose in 1996 just as the band was achieving its biggest mainstream success. Surviving members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson went on to form the Long Beach Dub All-Stars, but earlier this year played a gig with Northern California-based singer Rome that Gaugh later called a Sublime reunion. - more including the other big names on the bill for the festival
