SAN FRANCISCO — Pop-punk stalwarts Sum 41 brought their Tour of the Setting Sum—which the band has said will be its last—to the Bay Area on Tuesday for the first of two shows at the Masonic.

The Canadian band’s shows show here also kicked off the final U.S. leg of the trek, which is in support of Heaven & Hell, which they’ve also said would be their last. Sum 41 isn’t rushing it or forcing the issue. The final tour has been extensive, taking the rockers across the globe for a mix of headlining dates and festivals to give as many fans as possible one last chance to see them.

While the band spent the latter half of nearly three decades pushing its sound toward metal, Tuesday night’s set was more about embracing the evolution with an emphasis on its earlier material.

Sum 41 has always been a tight live act, thanks in part to the metal precision, and vocalist Deryck Whibley has evolved as a frontman. Sometimes losing the guitar, the frontman attacks the stage with magnetism and energy. Guitarists Dave Baksh and Tom Thacker deliver a formidable six-string combo, while bassist Jason “Cone” McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo round out the rhythm section.

Whibley counted in opening track “Motivation.”

“I asked you a question on Instagram; now back by popular demand, it’s ‘Screaming Bloody Murder,’” Whibley said, introducing the heavier track.

The set offered up a dynamic illustration of the band’s sound from punk anthems like “Underclass Hero” and “Over My Head (Better Off Dead”) to melodic rockers like “Some Say” and “Dopamine,” to heavier “We’re All to Blame” and “Rise Up.”

“Catch your breath out there. We’ve got a long way to go,” Whibley warned early on in the 1-hour and 40-minute performance.“We have a habit of starting our tours in San Francisco. So you get to see all the screwups since we actually play live.”

The stage backdrop was simple, save for a large inflatable devil that appeared late in the set. Still, songs were buoyed by plenty of smoke cannons and confetti flying.

After the mid-tempo “Some Say,” Whibley joked about the song’s age (it’s old enough to drink).

“If you haven’t heard this is our last tour; I think the world has had enough of Sum 41 at this point,” the frontman announced.

Zummo pounded a thunderous but quick solo that kept the momentum going.

A cover of Queen’s “We Will Rock You” has long been a staple of the band’s set. The pop-punk take keeps the song anthemic while adding some urgency. It wasn’t the only cover of the night, with the band squeezing in snippets of Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” and Slayer’s “Raining Blood.”

The final stretch of the set was all about the hits. The melodic “Pieces” made way for the crowd-pleasing pop-punk anthems “Fat Lip” and “Still Waiting.”

In lieu of an encore break, the band brought out a cake for McCaslin, who was celebrating a birthday. Then it was right back to the music with one of Sum 41’s oldest tracks, “Summer,” and one of its newest, “Waiting on a Twist of Fate.”

“This is the oldest Sum 41 song,” Whibley said introducing the former. “This was the first song we thought was any good.”

Whibley shouted out fans who traveled from as far as Japan to be at the gig. After offering a vociferous “thank you” to the crowd for the support over all the years, Whibley brought everyone together for closer “In Too Deep.”

“Let’s sing together one last time; let’s jump together one last time,” he said.

Could the band decide to come back together and do it all over again sometime down the road? Certainly. But if this really is the closed curtain on Sum 41, it’s a fitting send off.

The night’s opening bands were an exercise in contrasts. Southern California ska, punk and pop band The Interrupters delivered a punchy 40-minute set.

“It’s so good to be back to one of our favorite cities. We’ve been coming here since 2012!” guitarist Kevin Bivona said.

The band opened with “Gave You Everything” and “Title Holder.” Even for those who didn’t know the lyrics, it was very easy to pick up the infectious energy as vocalist Aimee Allen (Aimee Interrupter) led the crowd. Playful banter tied the material together and kept the momentum going.

Bivona led the way singing a snippet of “Your Love” by The Outfield as he introduced his band mates. The band kept things going with “Kiss the Ground,” “In the Mirror” and “Raised by Wolves.” Bivona shouted out all the times the band had played the Bay Area over the years.

“Who was here at the Warfield? Then at the Warfield again?” he yelled.

The Interrupters concluded with an expert take on Billie Eillish’s “bad guy,” “Take Back the Power” and “She’s Kerosene.”

Hardcore quartet Many Eyes opened the show on the heavier end of the spectrum.

“We’re a brand new band, and this is the first night of tour,” vocalist Keith Buckley said.

The band’s sound fused ferocious guitar riffs with guttural screams, while still mixing in some more esoteric and melodic sounds.

“It’s fun to watch you guys come in and look like a deer in the headlights and then start vibing out,” Buckley said.

The band opened with “Speechless” and played songs like “Future Proof” and “Revelation.”
