ShareGrammy-nominated band Sum 41 have announced their dates for the Tour Of The Setting Sum in the UK. The shows, which sees them perform at the OVO Wembley Arena including OVO Wembley Arena.
“We are really excited to announce shows in the UK later this year.” Says Deryck Whibley. “This forms another leg of our last-ever shows and our fans overseas have been incredible to us over the years, so we can’t wait to put on the best show of our lives and go out on a high”
Sum 41 recently released double album, Heaven :x: Hell, out now via Rise Records. Heaven :x: Hell is the most ambitious album from Sum 41 yet; Heaven is ten tracks of snarling high energy pop punk, while Hell consists of ten heavy metal anthems spiked with fret-burning solos, thrashing riffs, and fist-pumping hooks. The band has been straddling the line of pop-punk and metal for their entire career, and Heaven :x: Hell is a testament to their innovative sound and unmatched skill, proving them as pioneers twenty seven years after the bands inception.
Sum 41 never fit in. They didn’t give a shit or try to either. Instead, they came out of the gate swinging with a signature style punctuated by pop punk sing alongs and hard-hitting heavy metal proficiency. As a result, they’ve cast an unmatched shadow over popular culture, tracing back to their turn-of-the-century domination of TRL up to a rapturous set at the inaugural When We Were Young Festival.
Within the span of a year, Iggy Pop tapped them for a collaboration, and they paid a fiery tribute to Metallica for MTV Icon. Their music has surged through major franchises, ranging from Spider-Man to American Pie and Bring It On. They ignited a triptych of multi-platinum classic albums; All Killer No Filler (2001), Does This Look Infected? (2002), and Chuck (2004), and persisted in their second decade with just as much piss and vinegar on the likes of 13 Voices (2016) and Order In Decline (2019).
After selling fifteen million albums worldwide, garnering two Juno Awards, a Kerrang! Award, and a handful of Alternative Press Music Awards, receiving a Grammy nomination, and packing venues everywhere, they’re going out with a bang, and on their own terms. Disregarding the rules, ignoring expectations, and following their instincts once again, the band, Deryck Whibley (vocals, guitar), Dave Baksh (guitar), Jason McCaslin (bass), Tom Thacker (guitar), and Frank Zummo (drums), deliver a fittingly fiery final statement in the form of the double-LP, Heaven :x: Hell (Rise Records). It’s big, it’s ballsy, and it’s their boldest and best body of work to date.
