It comes two days after Linkin Park also shared a mysterious countdown video on their social media accounts.
Fans took to the comment section to share their reaction to the mysterious video with many thinking a new record may be on the cards “New album on the way??” wrote one user while another shared: “Minutes to midnight. Wait, those aint minutes. What´s goin on.”
It is unclear if the countdown is also related to Sum 41’s forthcoming announcement.
Earlier this year, it was reported that the ‘Numb’ hitmakers were planning a 2025 tour and potentially looking to recruit a female vocalist to succeed late frontman Chester Bennington.
The band have been on a hiatus ever since the death of Bennington in 2017, who took his own life aged 41.
Earlier this year, Sum 41 also announced that the band will hit the road for farewell headline shows across the UK and Europe; including a stop in London on Halloween 2024. Visit here for any remaining tickets.
Elsewhere, Sum 41 spoke to NME about the recent resurgence of pop-punk, and discussed how it was a âwild and surrealâ thing for them to experience as a band.
