Recently, Sum 41 announced their upcoming double album, Heaven :x: Hell , expected for release on March 29 via Rise Records . Heaven :x: Hell is 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, proving them as pioneers 27 years after the bands inception.
Heaven :x: Hell is available to pre-save and pre-order now at https://sum41.lnk.to/HeavenHell
Sum 41 shared previously “ Rise Up ” and “ Landmines ”, from Heaven :x: Hell ’s metal Hell side and pop-punk Heaven portion, respectively. The tracks have gained the attention of notable outlets such as Entertainment Tonight, Revolver, Consequence, NME, Exclaim!, BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, KNOTFEST, and countless others.
Earlier this year, Sum 41 announced their breakup after 27 years of making music together – the news was reported on by The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, CNN, Bloomberg, Pitchfork, TODAY, CBS, Billboard, and countless other major news outlets globally. Heaven :x: Hell is aiming for nothing short of greatness, a perfect parting gift from the band to the fans that have supported them endlessly.
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.

Recent tour reviews
My favorite band of all time! The first time I got to see them was at a Chicago music festival and I got to meet them and it was a highlight of my life. They were so nice and hilarious. Then I got to meet them again at a tiny show in Dallas at the house of blues and they told stories from the road. Such down to earth guys. I got to be front row for that show and they just thrived in that small room it was such a special experience. They just never disappoint. Their old stuff is what we love and grew up on but their new stuff is just as good. Will always be their #1 fan. Hope to see them as many times as possible.

This was my third time seeing Sum 41 and they were absolutely fantastic! They never disappoint! The only thing I will say is that I found out after I left the concert that they came out for a second encore and played Pain for Pleasure. Probably around 80% of the people had left before then, so I assumed they were done after the first encore. I would just recommend that everyone really makes sure they are truly done before leaving. I also thoroughly enjoyed the openers, who were The Plot in You and The Amity Affliction. Sum 41 is great live, and I look forward to seeing them again and again.
It was awesomeness it was everything i wanted and thought it would be. The played their newest song . they just put out and then they played nothing but their old music . it was freaking amazing. I will see them again and again . love it they are amazing . love y o u guys !!

Sum 41 Announces Final Tour Dates and Last-Ever Show Ahead of Their Separation as a Band
The band will embark on the Tour of the Setting Sum across the globe for much of 2024
Travis Shinn
Sum 41 is officially saying farewell.
After the pop-punk icons revealed via social media in May 2023 that they were going their separate ways following the release of their upcoming album Heaven :x: Hell , the band has officially announced their final tour dates — including their last-ever performance.
The Canadian group featuring Deryck Whibley , Dave Baksh, Jason McCaslin, Tom Thacker and Frank Zummo shared they’ll be setting out on the Tour of the Setting Sum for much of 2024, and will play their last show in Toronto on Jan. 30, 2025, on Tuesday. Throughout the tour, they'll be saying goodbye to fans across the globe, as they're performing stints across Asia, North America and Europe.

After the “In Too Deep” band sets out on the Asian leg of their tour in March and plays a festival in Mexico at the end of the month, they’ll embark on the first portion of their U.S. tour starting on April 19 with a concert in Omaha, Nebraska. During the first U.S. leg, the group will hit major cities like Boston, New York City, Atlanta, Nashville and Philadelphia, before eventually wrapping up in Norfolk, Virginia on May 19.
The Grammy-nominated group will take their show across Europe through much of the summer, then complete their North American dates starting Aug. 1. From then until early October, the hitmakers will play in cities like San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles, among others, concluding on Oct. 5 in Los Angeles.

They'll be bringing along L.A.-based ska band The Interrupters as support.
While Sum 41 was originally supposed to play their last gig on Nov. 23 in Nanterre, France, since the concert at the 35,000-capacity Paris La Défense Arena sold out, they’ve since announced another performance. On Jan. 30, 2025, the punk rockers will take to the stage together for the last time at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
To announce the Tour of the Setting Sum, the “Fat Lip” band shared a nostalgic teaser featuring fun clips from throughout their career that spans nearly three decades to Instagram .
Fans can expect Sum 41 to play both their classic pop-punk tunes, as well as new music, on their final tour, as it comes off the heels of the release of their last record. Heaven :x: Hell , their eighth studio album and final effort together, is due out March 29 (via Rise Records).
"Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments in our lives. We are forever grateful to our fans both old and new, who have supported us in any way," the band wrote in a statement upon the announcement of their separation. "It is hard to articulate the love and respect we have for all of you and we wanted you to hear this from us first.”
"Sum 41 will be disbanding," the note continued, with the group going on to tease their last album and their 2023 tour dates.
"For now, we look forward to seeing all of you skumf---ers on the road and are excited for what the future will bring for each of us," added the band. "Thank you for the last 27 years of Sum 41."

This year, the All Killer No Filler musicians prepared for their separation and began saying farewell to fans by setting out on the road with The Offspring and Simple Plan .
Their frontman, 43, also experienced health complications in fall 2023 when he was hospitalized with pneumonia in September. Whibley’s wife, model Ariana Cooper Whibley, revealed the news on social media at the time, then confirmed days later that the singer — who previously experienced kidney and liver failure in 2014 due to alcohol intoxication — was discharged after “responding well to treatments.”
Tickets for the U.S. dates for the Tour of the Setting Sum go on sale this week. They kick off with a series of presales, including the artist and Citi presales, which are available now, the BandsInTown, Spotify, Live Nation and Ticketmaster presales on Thursday at 10 a.m. ET and venue presales on Thursday at 10 a.m. local time.

"Heaven :x: Hell" will arrive on March 29, 2024 via Rise Records . "Heaven :x: Hell" is 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, proving them as pioneers 27 years after the bands inception.
On the new album, vocalist Deryck Whibley says: "Once I heard the music, I was confident enough to say, 'This is the record I'd like to go out on.' We've made a double album of pop punk and metal, and it makes sense. It took a long time for us to pave this lane for ourselves, but we did, and it's unique to us."
Alongside the album announcement, SUM 41 released a new single and music video, "Rise Up" . The first offering from the upcoming album's metal-filled "Hell" side, "Rise Up" opens with a flurry of guitar riffs and pounding drums fit for a mosh pit straight out of the band's early years. "Writing 'Rise Up' , I felt the way I did when I first got signed," says Deryck . "I felt the pressure and the need to create something great, but I felt so excited at the same time."
Previously, SUM 41 shared "Landmines" , from "Heaven :x: Hell" 's pop-punk "Heaven" portion. The track, with an anthemic chorus and ground-shaking drunk hits, was released alongside a nostalgic music video. The track gained the attention of notable outlets such as Entertainment Tonight , Consequence , NME , Exclaim! , Brooklyn Vegan , Alternative Press , Knotfest , and countless others.
Last year, SUM 41 announced their breakup after 27 years of making music together. "Heaven :x: Hell" is aiming for nothing short of greatness, a perfect parting gift from the band to the fans that have supported them endlessly.
"I love SUM 41 , what we've achieved, endured, and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits," Deryck leaves off. "There were so many times we could've broken up. For some reason, we kept sticking it out. I'm proud of that. It's the right time to walk away from it. I'm putting all of my energy into what's ahead. This is going to be the biggest tour of our lives, and I want to make it the best show we've ever done. That's it."
Speaking to CJAY 92 's Jesse and JD about the upcoming album, Whibley said: "The intention was with this new record — it's a double record, 'Heaven :x: Hell' , and the 'Heaven' side is 10 songs of what would be old-school SUM 41 pop punk, and the 'Hell' side is the newer sort of heavier metal side that we've done for about 16, 17 years now — maybe even longer. But anyway, yeah, I think that song does have the spirit of, say, [2001's] 'All Killer No Filler' and [2002's] 'Does This Look Infected?' , but played by a band that's been playing for 30 years now."
Asked how much pressure was there for him and his bandmates to make this final album exactly how they wanted it, Deryck said: "There was no pressure, because we didn't really know that we were going to make this the last record. When I started writing songs for this record, I didn't even know I was writing songs for SUM 41 . I thought I was writing for other people, because at the beginning of the pandemic, I was getting asked by managers and record labels if I'd work with some of their artists. They were looking for pop-punk stuff. And so I just started writing songs, and I just happened to like them and I didn't wanna give them away. So I kept them. And I didn't even know we were making a double album. I didn't even know it was going to be what it became. It wasn't until all the music was just written. I was just writing for the sake of writing, and when I listened to it all back, it just kind of spoke to me."
Regarding the decision to put SUM 41 to rest after the upcoming LP and tour, Deryck said: "I'm a big believer in that the music tells you what to do, and it just told me this should be a double album. Once that album was finished, I'd realized, and I'd been thinking this for a while, that I felt like after all these years with my 1,000% focus on SUM 41 all day, every day, I felt like I don't have much more of that in me to continue past this record. I've been in this band since I was in tenth grade, and I just... I'm getting to a point where I'm thinking, I'd like to put some focus and energy into something else. And I felt this is probably the best record we've ever made. And I think this version of the band is the best we've ever been live. And I thought, what a way to just go out on this one."
Whibley previously talked about "Heaven :x: Hell" in an interview with TheresaRockFace of the Houston, Texas radio station 94.5 The Buzz . At the time, he said: "It's two totally different records. It's 10 songs each side. I would call like early SUM 41 pop punk, and the 'Hell' side is like newer, heavier SUM 41 that we've kind of done the past couple of records, that sort of style. I don't wanna call it metal, but it's our version of what we do that's heavy and metal influenced."
He explained: "Over the years, we've done both sort of styles. We've had more heavy music than pop-punk music, but since we started with that on those first two records, it's kind of like you're labeled that for the rest of your life. But there are fans of ours that don't really care for any of the pop-punk stuff and only like the heavier stuff, and vice versa."
According to Whibley , "There are no guests" on "Heaven :x: Hell" . "There was some talk about it," he said. "We've never really done that. And as the record starts moving along, it just gets finished, and we're, like, 'Well, I guess we've done the record now.' Those ideas come up early on, and then once the songs are done, we're, like, 'I don't know. Maybe we'll just leave it as is.'"
Whibley also talked about the songwriting process for "Heaven :x: Hell" and how it came to turn into a double album. He said: "It wasn't really that fast [to make], but it also wasn't intentional. There was no thought or idea to make a double album. The music just kind of came out that way. And I'm always a believer in the music tells you what to do. So I didn't have this idea of, like, 'I'm gonna write a bunch of pop-punk songs and write a bunch of heavy songs.' I was just writing stuff and collecting music, and I didn't know what it was for. And one day I just decided, 'Okay, I've got all these songs. I'm gonna put 'em on a disc and go drive around in the car and listen to just see what I have.' And once I listened to it all, it kind of spoke to me. It was just, like, 'This needs to be a double album, 'cause they're two separate albums.' There was no thought of it. And even with the band, I didn't tell them, 'Hey, I think this is a double album.' I just sent them the music and said, 'Listen to everything that I've been working on. Tell me what you think.' And one by one, each guy came back and said, 'What do you think about doing a double album?' So the music spoke to all of us."
SUM 41 's storied 24-plus-year career includes over 15 million records sold worldwide, multiple Billboard -charting releases, a Grammy Award nomination, two Juno Awards (seven nominations),a Kerrang! Award in 2002, as well as multiple Alternative Press Music Awards .
In September 2023, Whibley was discharged from a hospital after being treated for pneumonia.
Back in 2014, Deryck collapsed in his kitchen and was rushed to the hospital, before doctors revealed his liver and kidneys had failed. He was placed in a coma for a week to help his body detox from alcohol and went on to get sober and lead a healthier lifestyle.
