UPDATED: First look at Simple Plan’s European tour setlist!

Last night, Simple Plan performed their first show of their long-awaited headlining ‘Hard As Rock Tour’ in Europe, which they kicked off in Paris, France, where they managed to sell out 3 shows in a row at the Bataclan venue.

The Simple Plan concert itself was standard length (about hour and half) and before the fans got to enjoy three opening acts: AIR YEL, State Champs and Mayday Parade. In total, the band performed 21 tracks, which you can check out below:

SETLIST (Paris, France / January 18th 2024)
1. I’d Do Anything
2. Shut Up!
3. Jump
4. Jet Lag (French Version)
5. Your Love Is a Lie
6. Addicted
7. You Suck at Love
8. Welcome to My Life
9. Iconic
10. Summer Paradise
11. Take My Hand
12. Astronaut
13. Party medley (All Star / Sk8er Boi / Mr. Brightside)
14. What’s New Scooby Doo?
15. A Million Pictures of You
16. Where I Belong (feat. Derek Discanio from State Champs)

Encore:
17. Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)
18. I’m Just a Kid
19. Untitled
20. Cover: Oasis – Wonderwall (shortened)
21. Perfect

The setlist should slightly change every night of the tour (especially possibly during the three Paris shows), so we will keep you updated with any major changes. Most of the setlist’s structure should remain the same, so you can prepare yourself for most of these hits at your show!

UPDATE: Simple Plan did indeed switch things up a little bit on the second night in Paris. Instead of Your Love Is A Lie, they played Can’t Keep My Hands Off You and instead of Wake Me Up, the band performed Congratulations. They also added a French version of What’s New Scooby Doo? feat. Kyoshi Sad. This meant that there was no Oasis cover on the second night.

Check out the second setlist below:

Simple Plan add 3rd supporting act for European tour: AIR YEL

by Dominika | Jan 12th, 2024 | no comments

Simple Plan’s European tour titled ‘Hard As Rock tour” will be kicking off in just a week and according to the latest news, the fans can expect a seriously jam-packed night full of music: besides State Champs and Mayday Parade, Simple Plan will be adding a third opening act, who is none other their social media guru AIR YEL (read ‘Ariel’).

AIR YEL has previously toured with Simple Plan as their social media content creator and later on stepped to to also perform as their opening act in Southeast Asia and in Mexico and in all instances she’s performed ‘Jet Lag’ with them live on stage. This gives us a clue that with high probability we can expect the same on this European tour.

You can check out AIR YEL’s music here.

Chuck teases the look of European tour’s setlist: greatest hits, focus on new record & new medley!

by Dominika | Dec 29th, 2023 | no comments

With Simple Plan’s European tour with State Champs and Mayday Parade being less than a month away, the local media are starting to pay more attention to the the band, who are coming back to many cities on the old continent as a headlining act for the first time since 2017!

A new Spanish interview for Mondo Sonoro with Chuck Comeau recently came out, in which the drummer was asked several question about the band’s upcoming tour, including what the fans can expect the setlist to look like. Chuck confirmed the tour’s setlist (while it may change from day to day slightly) will include the band’s greatest hits but will also be mostly focused on songs from their new album Harder Than It Looks (2022). Another thing worst mentioning is that Simple Plan want to include a special medley, where they try to incorporate short snippets of their songs to include as many as they can. This is remindful of the “No Pads medley” the band did in 2012 – given that the band is celebrating 20 years since the release of Still Not Getting Any next year, there’s hopes that this new medley could be a SNGA one.

Check out Chuck’s full response below:

“We haven’t done a headlining tour in Europe since 2017. So I think what we want is to just give our fans what they’ve been waiting for for a long time, which is a longer show. A show that spans all eras of Simple Plan, from the early days, which I know our fans love, to the new album that came out last year. So that it’s like a “greatest hits,” but with an emphasis on the new record, of course, and the new music. But we really want to play everything, every song that people want to hear. That’s really what we’re trying to do. And we’re going to change the setlist a little bit and have some songs come in and out and change every night. And we’re even trying to build a medley because we don’t have time to play every song that everyone wants to hear. We thought that maybe if we found a way to not play the whole song, but rather small fragments of several together, we would please more fans, or so we hope.”

Simple Plan to return to Colombia in 2024 & also add more European summer tourdates!

by Dominika | Dec 15th, 2023 | no comments

Simple Plan are keeping their promises and they’re trying to get back to many places where they haven’t performed in a while on their next year’s tour. One of the latest additions to these places is Bogotá, in Colombia (where the local fans haven’t seen the band since their last show there in 2012), where Simple Plan will head to right after their Brazilian tour. The band will perform at the Glory Dayz Festival in Bogotá on March 13th 2024 and tickets are already on sale.

Another addition to the tourlist are some extra summer European shows. Simple Plan have been announced to perform on two more European festivals – Hellfest in France (June 30th) and Rock Werchter Festival in Netherlands (July 5th). And besides that they will also be added as the opening act on some more Avril Lavigne shows in Europe over the summer. We’ve already announced I-Days in Italy, but besides that you will also be able to catch them with Avril in the UK, as they’ll perform in Cardiff (July 2nd) and Manchester (July 3rd).
