Still waiting on another Sum 41 tour? Well wait no more because the 15th anniversary of their Does This Look Infected? album means the band is running around the U.S. for a month this spring.

The first of the new dates is April 27 at The Warfield in San Francisco and the run continues for just under a month, wrapping May 26 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. There are other markets outside California on the routing, including multiple stops in Texas and Florida.

A Presale begins Feb. 14 and the general onsale starts Feb. 16.

Prior to this anniversary tour, the band released a new album in 2016, titled 13 Voices, and toured that project.

“This year was meant to be spent working on new music and I hadn’t even realized that it was the 15-Year anniversary of Does This Look Infected?,” frontman Deryck Whibley said in a statement. “Out of nowhere we started to receive messages from fans asking us to do another DTLI anniversary tour … and when the fans call we go.”

Whibley also expressed excitement that this tour will feature Dave “Brown Sound” Baksh on guitars once again.

The last album, 13 voices, was written after Whibley spent four months in a hospital, nearly dying due to alcohol abuse in 2014. Sum 41 used to largely glorify partying and the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, but was forced to address those issues when Whibley’s health deteriorated.
