The Canadian pop-punk heroes formed in Ontario in 1996 and went on to release eight albums with various line-ups.
The band are now saying goodbye to fans across the globe on their Tour Of The Setting Sum, which includes a pitstop at Dublin's Fairview Park this Wednesday (June 19).

Tickets
There are still a handful of tickets to Sum 41's gig at Fairview Park available via Ticketmaster, priced at €55 each. However, fans who have yet to get a ticket may want to act fast, as they are expected to sell-out ahead of Wednesday's concert.
Concertgoers have been advised to download their tickets to their phone ahead of the event – don’t wait until the day. Screenshots will not be valid as barcodes are live and updating regularly.
There will be one box office/ticket collection point located at the concert entrance.
Stage times
Gates to the venue will open at 7pm on Wednesday evening and fans have been warned that early queuing is a no-go. If patrons do turn up early, they will be turned away at restricted area points around the event site. Queuing in streets around the park will cause disruption to residents of the area and organisers are appealing to patrons to heed this advice and respect the local community.
Irish trad-metal band The Scratch are the support act for the evening, with the Dublin four-piece set to kick off their set at 7.30pm, with Sum 41 expected on stage at around 8.45pm.
Ticketholders are being reminded that there are no re-admissions to the concert. If you leave, there is no re-entry.
