It looks like our northern neighbors are sharpening their skates in preparation for an invasion of the States, sending rockers Sum 41 and Simple Plan across the border for their very first tour together.
Listen to your favorite music now on Audacy curated for fans, by fans like Punk Party, and more!
The bands just dropped the news that their upcoming, two-part, BLAME CANADA TOUR will begin on April 29 in Raleigh, NC, and will run through the summer, ending on August 18 in Denver, CO. The first leg of the joint trek kicks off with support from Set It Off. The second leg featuring support from Magnolia Park starts on July 29.
While the members of Sum 41 and Simple Plan have been close friends for quite a while, the bands had never toured together, and now there's even more to celebrate. Sum 41 will be commemorating 21 years of their 2001 album All Killer, No Filler, while Simple Plan will perform their 2002 release No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls.

“We’re so happy to finally be able to play shows again and couldn’t be more excited to head out on the ‘Blame Canada’ tour with Sum 41!” Singer Pierre Bouvier and Simple Plan shared. “It’s hard to believe this will be the first time we will co-headline a tour together, but the timing couldn’t be better as we both celebrate the 20th anniversary of our debut albums!”
“We have known the guys in Simple Plan for a very long time and know these shows are going to be great,” Sum 41's Deryck Whibley agreed. “We cannot wait to hit the road with them! We have a lot of fans in common and we know they have waited for this for a very, very long time! After not being able to tour for almost 2 years due to the pandemic, we’re gonna go out there and play our hearts out, enjoy every second of being on these stages and we’ll make sure everyone in the crowd has the time of their lives!”
