Sum 41 Kick Off Farewell Tour in South Korea
Sum 41 have begun their final tour as band, kicking things off with a performance at the YES24 Live Hall in Seoul, South Korea on Tuesday (Feb. 27).
The group, who will release a double album titled Heaven :x: Hell, on March 29 as their final studio offering, got their farewell tour underway with a 25-song performance playing many of their hits, while also digging up the live debut of a new song and dropping a Queen cover as well.
Heaven :x: Hell kicks off with the new song “Waiting on a Twist of Fate” leading the Heaven side, and the high energy rocker got its live debut as the fifth song of the evening. Fan shot footage of the track can be viewed below.
Other new album songs popping up during the set included “Landmines” and “Rise Up.”

Finding a way to give fans more bang for their buck, the show included a medley of “My Direction / No Brains / Rhythms / All Messed Up,” and there was a performance of Queen’s “We Will Rock You” toward the end of the main set.
The encore included “Best of Me,” “Mr. Amsterdam” and “In Too Deep,” before the band ended the night with a second encore, digging up the rarely performed “So Long Goodbye” which made its return to the setlist after last being played in 2007.
Sum 41 will continue to tour the Pacific Rim well into March, with dates in Mexico finishing out the month. Their North American tour then follows in April. TIckets for Sum 41’s North American tour are currently on sale.
