Sum 41 have played their final full-length concert, bringing their farewell tour to its conclusion Thursday (Jan. 30) night in Toronto.
Though coming up in the nu-metal era, Sum 41 really stood out from some of the bands of their day for their ability to play across a variety of styles. Elements of pop-punk, metal, rap, rock and even a few heartfelt ballads permeated their catalog throughout the years and it was all on display during a 29-song career-ending finale Thursday night.
What Did Sum 41 Play at Their Final Show?
Per Setlist.fm, the band played 29 songs, with a drum solo among them, that included a pair of encores. Arguably their biggest hit, “Fat Lip,” came as the penultimate song within the initial body of their set.
There were moments of feverish aggression, fan-favorite metal covers, instances of sadness and points during the final show in which singer Deryck Whibley asked for the lights to be turned up to soak in what would be the band’s last full concert performance.

While “So Long Goodbye,” which started out their final encore as a seemingly perfect end note, the band kept fans on their toes till the end ultimately finishing with “Welcome to Hell.” For a band that typically refused to be pigeonholed into one particular thing, fittingly when they took their final bow and walked off the stage, Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” played as the crowd began to shuffle out.
