Sum 41 Announce Official Canadian Leg Of Final World Tour ‘Tour Of The Setting Sum’
Grammy-nominated band Sum 41 has announced the official Canadian leg of their last ever headlining world tour, ‘Tour Of The Setting Sum’, to celebrate the upcoming release of their final album Heaven :x: Hell. As previously announced Sum 41 will make stops in the United States, Japan, Mexico, Germany, Italy, and more, and will perform their largest show to date in front of a sold-out crowd of over 35,000 at Paris La Défense Arena in France later this year before the official Canadian leg of the tour and their final shows as a band in Toronto, Ontario, on January 28 and 30, 2025, at Scotiabank Arena.
Tickets for the newly announced Canadian dates go on sale March. 28 at 10am local time at www.sum41.com/tour.
This Friday, March 29, Sum 41 will release their final double album, Heaven :x: Hell, via Rise Records. The most ambitious album from Sum 41 yet – Heaven is 10 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, solidifying them as pioneers 27 years after their inception. Heaven :x: Hell is available to pre-save and pre-order now at sum41.lnk.to/HeavenHell.
Looking back at the band’s storied 27-year career, Sum 41 has firmly cemented their place in rock history with over 15 million records sold worldwide, multiple Billboard Charting releases, a Grammy Award nomination, 2 JUNO Awards (7 nominations), a Kerrang! Award in 2002, multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, and countless other accolades.

Tyla Announces 34-Date Global Tour in Support of New Album APOP*
Fresh off the release of her new album APOP*, South African singer-songwriter Tyla has announced a 34-date global tour that will take her across Europe, North America, and Africa.
The tour kicks off in Paris, France, in October before moving through the UK and Europe. Tyla will then begin the North American leg in San Francisco on November 13, followed by a stop at Vancouver’s Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on November 15.
The singer will return to Canada later in the run for a November 26 performance at Toronto’s Coca-Cola Coliseum. From there, she’ll continue through the United States before heading back to Africa for shows in Lagos, Cape Town, and her hometown of Johannesburg, where the tour will wrap up.
