Sum 41 announce UK and European leg of farewell arena tour

Sum 41 has revealed the dates for their final arena tour across the United Kingdom and Europe in 2024. Dubbed as the ‘Tour of the Setting Sum’, the rock band consisting of Deryck Whibley, Dave Baksh, Jason “Cone” McCaslin, Tom Thacker and Frank Zummo will start in Den Bosch, Netherlands on October 21. They will then make stops at Brussels, Caen, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham, and London’s OVO Wembley Arena on October 31 to conclude the UK leg of the tour.

For their EU shows, the band will perform at Atlas Arena in Łódź, Prague O2 in Czech, MVM dome in Budapest, Stadhalle in Vienna, Unipol in Bologna, Pallazzo Dello Sport in Rome, Geneva Arena in Geneva and will finish at La Défense Arena in Paris, France on November 23. Tickets for the UK & EU leg of the tour will go on sale this week Friday, June 28.

Sum 41 has been on their world tour, which started on March 1 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and will conclude in Toronto, Canada on January 30, 2025, which will also feature the release of their eighth studio album, ‘Heaven :x: Hell’. Neck Deep and The Bronx will join the band for their EU and UK leg, respectively.

Whibley shared how he felt about the upcoming performances, “We are really excited to announce shows in the UK and Europe later this year. 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.”

Despite ending the band, Whibley expressed his plans after the tour which include playing music that’s completely different from what Sum 41 has done. “I’ve had this feeling for a long time now that I want to do something different and it just feels like the right time. This album feels like the perfect way to go out,” he shared.

Sum 41 also teased fans when Whibly shared an interview with the Daily Star, expressing the desire to reunite with Sum 41’s former frontman Jon Marshall, who left the group after only a year, in 1997
