The Sum might be setting, but pop-punk icons Sum 41 will play a final run of Canadian dates next year before they call it a day. The group has added a dozen new Canadian stops to their Tour of the Setting Sum, which travels the globe this year before concluding in their home country next January.

The new dates include an extra show in Toronto on Jan. 28 at Scotiabank Arena, in addition to the previously announced January 30 date, which will be their final show as a band. They'll also play three more Ontario dates, three B.C. dates, and each of the Prairie provinces.

The tour announcement arrives ahead of their final album, Heaven :x: Hell, out this Friday (Mar. 29). The double album shows off Sum 41's two musical identities, pop-punk and metal. It also features the single "Landmines," which recently became their first No. 1 in 20 years when it topped the Alternative Airplay chart. The last time the Ajax, Ontario band had a No. 1 on Alternative Airplay was in 2001, with their single "Fat Lip," making them the new record-holders for longest gap between No. 1s on that chart.

A lot has changed in the 20-plus years between those singles. Sum 41's Deryck Whibley explained in a December GQ interview that, between health problems and time away from family, the music lifestyle has become harder to maintain. The band are calling it quits while it's still fun and going out amidst a resurgence in popularity, playing to fans around the world.

The final tour began earlier this month, and has already taken the group to Indonesia, Malaysia and Japan. They'll tour the U.S. and Europe this summer, as well as stopping in Quebec for four dates in August. Their final run of shows takes place in January 2025.

Kesha Brings 'Holiday Road' to The Billboard Canadian Hot 100

The newly independent pop singer's cover of Lindsay Buckingham's 1983 song from National Lampoon's Vacation was first released as a Spotify exclusive for the holidays. Michael Bublé's Christmas, meanwhile, remains at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Kesha has brought an under-appreciated holiday gem back to the charts. Her version of "Holiday Road" debuts on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100 (dated Dec. 28, 2024) at No. 83.

"Holiday Road" was originally released in 1983 by Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham and serves as the propulsive opening theme to the Chevy Chase-starting classic comedy road trip film National Lampoon's Vacation.
