Yesterday, Simple Plan kicked off their mini-tour across France with a show at a festival called Les Artefacts, which takes place in Strasbourg, France. Apart from SP, for that day the festival also offered acts like Pony Pony Run Run or We The Kings, and most importantly the headliner – Skrillex. David Desrosiers from Simple Plan hung out with him a little bit in the backstage before the show and also managed to snap a picture of the two of them:

And in the gallery you can also already check out the first images from Simple Plan’s performance at the Les Artefacts festival in Strasbourg:

The Dannish fans were able to check out Simple Plan live yesterday, on April 18th, in their capital – Copenhagen, along with the opening band We The Kings. In the gallery you can now check out a pretty spicy picture of Pierre from the backstage (taken by Chady) and also a set of photos from the show itself (thanks toLykke Nielsen Photography):

Yesterday, Simple Plan came back to Sweden – a place Chuck always wanted to come from and was even “mad with his parents for not being Swedish”. The guys apparently even showed their love for Sweden in a long speech during the show. Of course the speech was mostly about IKEA…

Before they even started with the first song on their setlist – “Shut Up”, the excited swedish crowd greeted them with a bunch of signs – this time saying “Your Songs Saved Our Lives”.

And thanks to Emelie you can now look at the first couple of pictures from the show in Stockholm, Sweden in the gallery:

Worth mentioning are also the following four photos, published by a Swedish eyewear company called Vasuma, that gave a couple of their products to the guys from Simple Plan to wear:

After almost four years, Simple Plan played for a very loud crowd in Helsinki, Finland last night and the first pictures from the shows can already be found in the gallery (thanks a lot to Eriika for some of them):

The guys just can’t help it but tease us with little tidbits of information about all the secret projects they are currently working on. Today, Chuck let the fans know via Twitter that the band has spent the afternoon (right before today’s sold-out show) in a recording studio in Helsinki, Finland.

There is no information about what exactly the guys were doing in the studio and what they are working on, but it may have something to do with the secret recording session in Italy, that we’ve learned about a couple weeks ago. It could also be related to the upcoming EP that should include some of the unreleased songs written for Get Your Heart On! or it could also be something completely different. Let’s just wait and let them tease us some more. Hopefully we’ll get some more info soon.

Below, you can check out a picture that Chuck added to his tweet and on which you can spot Pierre working in the studio:

In the gallery you can now check out lots of new breath-taking photos (for which I’d like to thank darkside.ru) from Simple Plan’s shows in Russia: that is from Moscow and St. Petersburg, from which we didn’t have many professional photos yet:
