Just a couple weeks ago something totally unimaginable – now a reality! That’s what the newly announced co-headlining Simple Plan x Sum 41 tour across the United States is.
After announcing the Deryck Whibley featuring on the new Simple Plan single ‘Ruin My Life’, the two Canadian bands decided to make their U.S. fans very happy and finally return after many previous covid-related cancelations. The first part of the ‘Blame Canada’ tour will begin on April 29th in Raleigh, NC and will finish on May 27th in New Orleans, LA. The bands will then take a little breather in June and July (where they already have some festival obligations) and then get back to touring together for part 2 of their tour from July 29 in Tulsa, OK all the way to Denver, CO on August 18th.
The tour will celebrate the 20th anniversary of both bands’ debut albums – Sum 41’s album ‘All Killer No Filler’ (2001) and Simple Plan’s debut ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’ (2002).
As part of the upcoming tour, $1 of each ticket sold will help raise funds for the Simple Plan Foundation and Sweet Relief’s Covid-19 Fund. Since 2005 the Simple Plan Foundation has donated over $2M to various charitable causes in Canada to help young people in need. In 2020, Sweet Relief started the Covid-19 Fund to provide emergency financial assistance to music industry professionals who have been devastated by the pandemic.
Tickets and VIP packages officially go on sale Friday, February 25th at 10am local time. Pre-sale begins today here until February 24th at 10pm using the code JUSTAKID.
