The members of Sum 41 have announced that they will be embarking on their final tour in the UK and Europe. The beloved band, known for their hit single "Fat Lip," will be saying farewell to their fans as they hit the road in October. Made up of Deryck Whibley, Dave Baksh, Jason 'Cone' McCaslin, Tom Thacker, and Frank Zummo, Sum 41 will be bringing their Tour of the Setting Sun to arenas across the UK and Europe for one last time.
In a statement, lead singer Deryck, who is now 44, expressed the band's excitement for their upcoming shows in the UK and Europe. He also acknowledged the incredible support they have received from their fans overseas throughout their nearly 30-year career. Deryck promised that this tour will be the best show of their lives, as they aim to go out on a high note.
The European leg of the tour will kick off on October 21 in Den Bosch, Netherlands, with additional shows in Brussels, Caen, Prague, Paris, Budapest, Vienna, Rome, and more. The UK leg will begin on October 26 in Leeds and will include stops in Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham, and London before concluding in Cardiff on November 2. More tour dates are expected to be announced soon.
The news of Sum 41's final tour comes after the band announced their split last year, after spending almost three decades making music together. The Canadian band, which originally formed in 1996, will be supported by The Bronx on select European shows and Neck Deep on others.
In a recent interview, Deryck revealed that the band has not seen their original frontman, Jon Marshall, since he left the group in 1997. He explained that their song "Johnny Libertine" is a tribute to Jon, who was the most punk-rock person he had ever met. Despite being best friends at the time, Jon left the band and was never seen again.
Sum 41's decision to disband was announced late last year, after the release of their eighth album Heaven x Hell and a farewell world tour. The band expressed their gratitude to their fans for their unwavering support throughout their career and wanted to share the news with them directly.
In a recent interview, Deryck shared that he feels good about their latest album and believes it has given him the closure he needed. He also mentioned that he has been making music and touring with the band since he was 15 and feels that now is the right time to pursue something new. He added that their latest album feels like the perfect way to end their journey as a band.
