KERRANG! have announced that Sum 41 will be headlining their 2016 tour.

Kerrang! and readers alike were devastated when Sum 41 were forced to cancel their headline slot on the Kerrang! Tour 2012 when frontman Deryck Whibley injured his back. Now, though, the fighting-fit band – completed by Cone McCaslin (bass), Tom Thacker (guitar) and Dave Brownsound (guitars) – are all set to bring their avalanche of pop-punk anthems to UK venues in February 2016 on the Kerrang! Tour 2016.

Next year is Sum 41’s 20th anniversary as a band, so what better way to celebrate with a UK tour and new music. The band have set up PledgeMusic campaign to make what has been described as their "best music yet", easily sitting alongside classic anthems like In Too Deep, Motivation, Still Waiting and Fat Lip. Check out Pledgemusic.com/projects/sum41 for more information.

Frontman Deryck Whibley said, “We’re really excited to be back on tour. After a three-year break, we're honoured that our first tour back is the Kerrang! Tour 2016 in the UK. We’ve been locked away in the studio making the new Sum 41 record, which we will be out later in the year (2016).”

Kerrang! always hand-picks the most talked-about and hotly tipped bands for their tours, so it’s no surprise that next year’s line-up will be no exception.

James McMahon, editor of Kerrang! said, "Kerrang! is ridiculously excited to welcome punk-pop legends Sum 41 onto the bill of our iconic yearly tour. They're a band who've grown through the pages of the magazine since the very beginning - us being there through the ups and the downs, us being the magazine that's always backed them, all the way – and so it's extremely exciting to be joining them again on the most recent instalment within their incredible adventure. Not only that, but it feels extremely exciting seeing a broken promise four years ago finally being delivered on. I know the readers will be delighted."

Sum 41 will headline the tour at the Cardiff Uni Great Hall on February 11, 2016.
