Simple Plan & Sum 41 Team Up For Co-Headlining ‘Blame Canada Tour’
After making fans wait 20 years, Simple Plan and Sum 41 have teamed up and announced a 2022 Blame Canada Tour.
The two punk bands will trek across the U.S. from April through August commemorating their debut records, Sum 41’s All Killer No Filler and Simple Plan’s No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls. The 36-date tour will kick off at Raleigh, NC’s Ritz on April 29th and will work throughout the East Coast. From there, the two Canadian groups will move through the Midwest for a set of shows, setting them up on the road to the South through Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas.
After a well-deserved two-month break, Simple Plan and Sum 41 will ignite their second leg of the tour at Tulsa, OK’s Cains Ballroom on July 29th, making their way through Texas and Arizona before heading up through the Pacific Northwest. The two bands will close out their tour with a headlining performance at Salt Lake City, UT’s The Complex on August 17th and Denver, CO’s The Fillmore on August 18th. Set It Off and Magnolia Park will join the two co-headliners as support on select dates.
Tickets to Simple Plan and Sum 41’s co-headlining Blame Canada Tour are now on sale here. One dollar from every ticket sold will help raise money for the Simple Plan Foundation, the non-profit organization aimed to help young people in need and supporting victims of life-threatening illnesses.
