Two-time Juno Award winners Sum 41 rode the crest of the nu-metal wave in the early 2000s with a catchy blend of punk, rap and metal elements woven into their music. They were able to pinpoint some of the most infectious characteristics of popular genres and meld them into a hybrid that won them throngs of fans who were eager for more. Tickets to their concerts traditionally sell out fast, as fans don't want to miss the chance to jump up with the band and request songs through the extra microphone that seems to just float around the stage. The band orchestrates this circus-like scenario night after night on tour and even indulges in a cover or two by Judas Priest or Iron Maiden —complete with drum solos. Incidentally, the band was lucky enough to borrow drummer Tommy Lee from Motley Crue for a stretch between 2001 and 2003. Their August 2011 release Sum 41 Live at the House of Blues boasts plenty of live concert antics and features the hit songs "Underclass Hero," "Motivation" and "Fat Lip."
The band hails from Ajax, Ontario, Canada and is fronted by lead singer, rhythm guitarist and primary songwriter Deryck Whibley. They began in 1996 as a NOFX cover band called Kaspir but eventually changed their name for a high-profile show opening for Supernova. They signed an international record deal with Island Records in 1999, which resulted in their 2001 debut release All Killer, No Filler. They embarked on a relentless journey of touring and songwriting that led to the 2002 release of Does This Look Infected?, 2004's Chuck, 2007's Underclass Hero and the 2011 release Screaming Bloody Murder, with subsequent tours. Sum 41 continues this tradition with a string of Canadian tour dates scheduled for the spring of 2014.

Ok As It Is was a bad opening act but that's alright because Senses Fail absolutely killed it. Then Sum 41 came on stage and everything went crazy. What a concert. I fell and got kicked in the head. It was great. Amazing. Couldn't be better. Amazing concert.
A lot of pop-punk bands from the early 00's are making comebacks in the past couple of years, and Sum 41 is one of the biggest success stories. Their recent release, 13 Voices, is raucous and addictive, and their live show is just as energetic as I hoped it would be. The set was a mix of old songs and new, from the latest single "War" to fan-favourites like "In Too Deep", "Pieces", and - my favourite - "Fat Lip", which closed the show. Deryck Whibley looked much healthier than he has in years, and, despite feeling sick, was still interacting with the crowd and bouncing around the stage. The lights and smoke effects added to the overall festive air and it was also really cute to see the band's relatives (parents, grandparents, etc) hanging out in the sound booth and rocking along with them. Definitely would recommend catching them live if you can!
It was amazing, every show of them is amazing. It's tue fourth time I see sum 41 and they always bring me what I want from them.
I saw Sum 41 open for Billy Talent in Toronto and they were so amazing. I've been a huge fan for YEARS and I finally got to see them live. Totally unforgettable and they have an amazing stage presence. I would definitely recommend them to anyone, though it's a little different without Dave ):
Sum 41 was amazing last night when they played at the ACC!!! I rocked out too hard, resulting in body soreness and voice loss. But it was well worth it! I can't wait for them to headline their own tour, I will be one of the first to buy tickets! I love you Sum 41!
Great show! They got the crowd going, and they non stop rocked. Only downside to the show was the second surprise band. They were good considering it was just a guitarist and drummer, but their set ran loooong....Almost as long as Sum 41 themselves. Otherwise, killer show
Like the title suggests, they were outstanding. 100% recommended.
Loved the energy all the show ! Great old school punk !
It was a great show! My brother and I loved it! The place was rocking!
They played 27 songs in 2 hours. The first 12 were from their second CD, Does this look infectef? After the did a medley of their greatest hits and they finish with an encore of 4 songs. They were really great, same sound as on the CD. Derek was pretty funny.
Sum 41 was amazing! They sounded like they did 10 years ago. But the mosh pit was really stupid!
Definitely worth the 8 years that I've waited to see Sum 41. Never moshed so hard to Fat Lip before!
The guys where totally relaxed and right on target they had the audience noshing and rocking. The music was as fresh as if it was yesterday it was like 10 years had not even passed. The had great energy and focus they where amazing
Lots of energy and an extensive play set. The band showed now slowing down all night! Small enjoyable venue and no gimmicks. Well done Sum 41.
I've never seen Sum 41 and I've had high expectations coming an hour away to see them and listening to them non stop to know most of their songs. The crowd also was insane and when I came out I was drenched in sweat, my voice was gone from singing most of the songs and my shoe was destroyed, definitely a night to remember! They had such great stage presence and just killed it! Definitely seeing again in the future multiple times!
Saw them at Warped Tour a couple years ago and they kick ass...although it seemed like they were missing something that they had when Brownsound was still there. I crowd surfed during the first song, gave them the 41 salute and Derryck pointed at me and gave me a thumbs up :) Anyways great set, great stage presence, but I prefer their old stuff to their new albums. Either way, you won't be disappointed
The show was really Good. Sum 41 real Fans's expectations were satisfied. The overall sound was not that good, maybe because de equalization of the guitar's wasn't very good and the acoustics of the place didn't help either.
for a last minute show, it was amazing. I love Sum 41. my favourite band ever. Its been a long time they haven't been to Toronto. Was good to see them back at home. Overall, very enjoyable and cant wait for the album to come out and to have another big concert!
One of the best live shows in recent memory. Can't wait to see them again.
Lots of energy. Very interactive. Band sang all their greatest hits and Screaming Bloody Murder was awesome. I only wish they sang a couple more songs from their new album.
