TUESDAY 10 DECEMBER – AEC THEATRE, ADELAIDE
THURSDAY 12 DECEMBER – MARGARET COURT ARENA, MELBOURNE
SATURDAY 14 DECEMBER – HORDERN PAVILION, SYDNEY*


*Grandson not appearing

The SUM 41 Australian swan song this December will see the Canadian rockers go out with a bang, with Good Things Festival and their headline sideshows marking the band’s last-ever ‘Tour of the setting Sum’ tour on our shores. Come for the infectious hooks, and stay for the heaving anthems!

A band who never fit in, and never wanted to in the first place, SUM 41 erupted into view at the turn of the century with an unforgettable style spanning high octane pop punk and hard-hitting heavy metal dexterity, casting a staggering shadow over popular culture and cementing themselves as a beacon of millennial domination. With a Grammy Award nomination, eight studio albums, including their formative album trinity consisting of All Killer No Filler (2001), Does This Look Infected? (2002) and Chuck (2004), as well as their most recent double-LP Heaven :x: Hell, SUM 41 have sold 15 million albums worldwide, featured in an array of major franchises, from Spider-Man through to American Pie and Bring It On, and remain to this day one of the most potent live acts on the scene.Having amassed a staggering 1 billion streams and counting, the platinum-certified Canadian / American maverick, GRANDSON, molds genres by sculpting rock, hip-hop, and electronic into a vision of alternative you’ve never quite heard, seen or felt before. 

GRANDSON is the rare outlier who can appear with Senator Bernie Sanders on a livestream and has collaborated with everyone from Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park and Steve Aoki to Travis Barker, Kesha, K. Flay, X Ambassadors, Whethan, Two Feet, and DE’WAYNE, to name a few. He joined forces with Tom Morello for Hold The Line and performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with the legendary guitarist. In 2023 he released his critically acclaimed sophomore album I Love You, I’m Trying and has garnered praise from Rolling Stone, Variety and Billboard.
