Sum 41 - Tour Of The Setting Sum

Sum 41 have never fit anywhere. But that is also
and they never tried. Instead, they stayed
always true to their unmistakable style from the beginning, which was
Pop-punk sing-alongs and hard-hitting heavy metal skills
As a result, they have cast an unprecedented shadow on
into pop culture, which is influenced by her dominance on TRL around the
turn of the century to a stunning performance at the first
When We Were Young Festival. Within a year
Iggy Pop brought them on board for a collaboration and they paid tribute
Metallica for MTV Icon a fiery tribute. Their music has been
the most important franchises, from Spider-Man to American
Pie to Bring It On. They have a triptych of classic albums
– the platinum-certified All Killer No Filler
[2001], the gold-certified Does This Look Infected? [2002]
and the gold-certified Chuck [2004] – and held in their

[Drums] – disregards the rules, ignores expectations and follows

consists of ten tracks with growling, energetic
Pop-Punk, while Hell consists of ten heavy metal anthems,
peppered with searing solos, thunderous riffs and fist-pumping
Hooks.
With Heaven :x: Hell the band starts their biggest
Headliner tour and ends the European part in front of over
35,000 fans in the sold-out Paris La Défense Arena in
Nanterre, France. The tour will take them well into 2025
and ends with a climax.
“I love Sum 41, what we have achieved, persevered and

We could have separated. For some reason we
always persevered. I am proud of that. It is the right
Time to stop. I put all my energy into this,
what lies ahead of us. This will be the biggest tour of our lives and
I want it to be the best show we've ever done
have. That's all."
