In The Dumps

Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand > Music Minute

Sum 41 has another "change of venue"!

As we reported yesterday, Sum 41 and it's frontman Mr. Lavigne, formerly known as Deryck Whibley, had to cancel their show at a 7,000 capacity venue in Canada and move it to a much smaller location, holding just 1,200.

Now, ANOTHER venue change has been made for an upcoming show this weekend.

According to their concert listings online, "The Sum 41 concert, with special guests Die Mannequin, Social Code and Sound and Fury, previously slated for The Cunard Centre, Pier 23 on Saturday, March 8th has been moved next door to Heritage Hall, Pier 21 (1055 Marginal Road) on the same day. The tickets for The Cunard Centre will be honored at Heritage Hall, Pier 21."

The concert was moved from the Cunard Centre holding over 4,000 people to the much smaller venue at Heritage Hall fitting only 660!

660!!!

They've also had to cancel two concerts, formerly on sale at Ticketmaster, at the Hamilton Convention Centre in Hamilton, ON and at the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon, SK.

Sucks for Sum 41. Blame it on Avril!

  32. Blame it on the fact they suck major ass says – reply to this

    I can't believe they have been around THIS long. They suck ass and so does Avril. Death to the whole lot of them!

    They shouldnt have gotten married, they killed their own careers by becoming a boring married couple, he needs to smack her up or file for divorce or something, that'll get some butts in the seats

    Haha, I was supposed to work the bar that night at that show - thanks Sum 41 for giving me the night off!!

  37. Kim says – reply to this


    37

    LOL not even blame avril. I do hate the bitch, but I used to be a DIE HARD sum 41 fan. Recycling lyrics for your "new" songs doesn't get you anywhere. they're definitely regressing as musicians and no one is going to stay interested. I know I'm not interested anymore. Not to mention they lost BASICALLY the main talent of their band. Dave had killer guitar playing skills but he moved on to better things, reguardless if it wasn't bigger than Sum 41

  38. Candy says – reply to this


    38

    Avril made herself hated by so many people because she said in her interview that anyone who hates her are losers. I think she is the major loser for even making that stupid comment. Everyone thinks she is just plain rude, stuckup, and childish for wearing those stupid skulls and dying her hair pink.

  39. MUFFIN ASS says – reply to this


    39

    I blame it on their shitty music as well as his and his wife's shitty public behavior. Fuck both of them I say. THey're not getting any of my fucking money, that's for damn sure.

  40. Bo says – reply to this


    40

    'Does This Look Infected?' was their last good album. Also, the pop-punk fad of the late 90's and early 2000's is over and I suppose Sum 41 doesn't seem that.

    that sucks, omg I love sum 41, I want to go to their concert!

    hey perez,

    sum 41 is playing at the Arnie in Hamilton, Ontario next Wednesday. Thats Mohawk College's pub. Apparently it is for some special anniversary or something.

  43. Ha ha ha ha ha! says – reply to this


    43

    Both suck, both are whiners, both are pale and ugly and both should go away for good and get real jobs. Their musical careers are just about over. next stop neighborhood bars for beer money. ha ha ha, couldn't happen to two better crackheads!

  46. jessemm says – reply to this


    46

    Everyone's so quick to blame the artists. Its funny how most people are unable of thinking beyond the level of artist. They were scooped up and manufactured and marketed by huge media companies. When the consumer gets bored (which is pretty fast in the 12-25 age group) they cut manufacturing and marketing. Come on people use your brains…it has nothing to do with what you "think" about the artists. The record companies dont "want" you to like them anymore because they chose something bigger and better and newer for you to "think" you like…idiots!!!

  47. kat says – reply to this


    47

    tehehe! reusing their own guitar riffs, tacky, punk wannabe haircuts, silly outfits, marrying "punk rock avril"… is Sum41 serious? stay out of canada losers… go back to your multi-million dollar mansion in beverly hills where you hang out between photo ops in africa… if you want to help so bad, sell your house and your cheap looking wife and send the proceeds to unicef.

    i live in saskatoon, and i heard about the lousy sales for avril, but i didnt hear anything about sum 41 playing here. i guess nobody was talking about it enough on the radio. sucks to be them!!!

    55

    I hate to say this perez. I know how you hate them, but right now no one in rock can tour successfully unless it is something like ozzfest in america. a friend of mine who is a tour manager in the past last 15 years for a major act cant find work because no one is touring. no money to be made in americas/canada . thanks to this sad economy.

  56. shizdoodles says – reply to this


    56

    Uh, no. I won't blame it on Avril. Sum 41 has singlehandedly earned their own present state of suckage. They don't need any help from anyone in that department!

  57. Sophie California says – reply to this


    57

    Sum 41 only get what's coming them. For the last two years they've openly bad-mouthed Simple Plan with no given reasons other than pure jealously for their Canadian 'rivals' huge record sales and success.

  61. tt says – reply to this


    61

    They were initially slated to play the 10,000 seat (approx) arena in the fall but cancelled supposedly due to derek injuring his back. Coincidentally, tickets weren't really selling. Suspiciously interesting.

  62. bryan says – reply to this


    62

    why would they have even put them in that venue to begin with….it's a small city, i can't imagine them filling a 100 cap. club there. in toronto they are only playing a 2400 cap. club….why, no one cares.

    what is sad is perez's obsession with these two. at much as i dislike avril and sum 41…. perez takes to top award for tosser of the year.

    at least they are out doing their own thing, not making money off of making fun of celebs.

    L O S E R ! ! !

    They should pay Avril all the money in the world to come to shity bland places like "saskatoon" most Canadians live life only to die.

    Advil (spelled wrong on purpose) Lavigne is just like her music. Boring and it makes you sleepy. She's been recording the same song now for 5 years, plus she's a beyotch. Sum41 had the world on their shoulders and should have never been out public of circulation. This probably why one of Sum41 left the group. But Advil, being all of the aforementioned snips, is also a younger version of Jessica Simpson. Advil is a human dream and career killer. Just ask her record company and Nick Lachey. Note that the only thing he has going for him is fine ass Vanessa and even that has seemed to reach it's peak.

    72

    i'm from hamilton, on aka "the hammer" and we definitely did NOT need sum41 coming to the city to perform their lame, lame "music". it's true, tim horton's is hiring…i'm thinking the band, and avril, might want to start applying for some part-time work?
    we don't want avril or sum41, but we'd LOVE a visit from perez!!!! come visit please! mcmaster university is SUCH a fan! we creep your site in lecture constantly! xo

    They also cancelled a show at the John Labbatt Center and are now playing at Centennial hall in London, Ontario. Also a much smaller venue.

    That is kind of amusing. But Die Mannequin are a REALLY amazing band, so it sucks for them. I hope they go on a better tour soon.

    75

    Yeah right Perez, Sum41 moved from Hamilton Convention Centre to (my college) MOHAWK COLLEGE'S ARNIE… Its SMALL PUB that can fit, what, 10 PEOPLE? Here's the actual online announcement: CHECK THE PRICE!!!

    i say it once, i say it again…. its because they don't care about their fans!!! i said this yesterday… they missed 2 shows in london ontario. the one show they just didnt show. the opening act had to play for over an hour in hopes that they would show up. the poor band got booed off because everyone was waiting for sum 41. we all had to come back the next day because they were hung over and missed their plane. They also currently have a london to make up because they cancelled. its horrible.

    I love that so many people from Mohawk commented on this…I didn't even know that they were coming here until I read this lol!

BLAME AVRIL…god i hate her…and to the guy who said who cares about Canada? i'm surprised you're even smart enough to read! you inbred dumb bastard…

    Sum41 were always walking that fine line between respected and embarrassing and now their reputation has really gone down the shitter.
    Now that he has shown how pathetic and shallow he truely is by getting with Avril Lavigne there is no doubt that his band was in fact a bunch of posers, just like his wife. Sad really as they were quite talented compared to most pop punk bands.
    I'm sure he was probably stealing someone's songs and getting other people to write the lyrics while taking credit though.
    Anyone with an ounce of integrity would not be associated in any way with Avril Lavigne.
    Travis Barker, that means you too. Sell out bastards the lot of you.
    And what was with them letting Avril do the Metallica tribute thing? Bullshit.
    Whos idea was that? I know for a fact it could not have been anyone in Metallica. We all know she got her first Metallica CD a week before she was due to sing Fuel on that show.
