After trading 15 million albums globally and selling out venues around the world, Sum41 are back on tour for the last time ever - and on their own terms. The Canadian five-piece are one of the most iconic pop-punk and thrashing metal bands to have ever surfaced, with their funny, light-hearted tracks and yet their political, darker tracks. Singalong to some of their legendary tracks like ‘In Too Deep’ and ‘Still Waiting’ in the Leeds First Direct Arena on 26th October. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Sum41 for the very last time!
