Sum 41 closed their farewell tour with an energetic performance in Toronto, featuring a mix of hits, deep cuts, and plenty of pyrotechnics. Frontman Deryck Whibley embraced the rockstar energy, engaging the crowd with his signature attitude and a healthy dose of profanity.

The Ajax, Ont.-founded rock act brought the flames, the fury and, in Whibley’s case, the filthy mouth you’d expect from a seasoned rock veteran who still draws on his teenage punk attitude with relative ease. They also performed singles from their other records, a few deep cuts and one unreleased fan favourite during the two-hour set.After singing one of Sum 41’s few ballads, Whibley brushed it off, suggesting to the crowd he was pleased to get it out of the way. Another upbeat song didn’t seem to sit well with him either.And so the party mostly lingered in the realm of rage celebration as a seemingly bottomless flow of confetti, streamers and pyrotechnics added fuel to the proceedings.
Sum 41 has crossed the country over the past several weeks on the final leg of Tour of the Setting Sum. The world tour launched early last year and had dates that stretched across North America, Asia and Europe.He thanked his fans more often, blew a kiss to one crowdsurfer and eventually abandoned his semi-scripted banter to take in the fading moment.“I don’t want to forget this night. I want to take this in, I want to soak this up.
