If you’ve been reading up on SimplePlan.cz on Friday, you’ve already noticed that Simple Plan are currently in the studio recording their final 4 songs for their new album this weekend, after which they are planning a huge announcement on Monday, November 30th (exact time is currently unknown).
In various interviews and elsewhere on social media, the members of the band have already hinted on what we may expect from this announcement, so it’s time to sum up what we know so far for sure and what else is speculated to also be a part of this announcement, so that we’re ready for what Monday is going to bring!
– ALBUM TITLE: At the press conference in Mexico, Simple Plan mentioned that in their Monday announcement they will finally let the fans in on the title of their new album
– ALBUM RELEASE DATE: Even though it’s been known for a while that Simple Plan will release their fifth studio album in February 2016, the exact release date will finally be revealed on Monday
– EUROPEAN TOURDATES: Simple Plan confirmed in an interview in Mexico that after their album’s release they first plan on touring in Europe – and from the already revealed first concert date in Italy, we already know it will be in March. And since there was another indication from a Swiss promoter of a Monday announcement of a SP show there as well, we may assume Simple Plan’s huge announcement may include more details regarding their next European tour.
– NEW MUSIC VIDEO: The band has also recently revealed that we may expect yet another music video very soon. However whether they will include it in this particular huge announcement is unknown.
– ALBUM ARTWORK: With the announcement of the album title and its release date, it would be understandable to assume that we could also finally get a glimpse at the album’s artwork. However this information has not been mentioned or confirmed by the band anywhere yet.
– TRACKLIST: And finally, something a lot of fans are very eager to see – the number of songs, the song-titles and their exact order on the album. Now, this option is a little less probable to be announced in this big announcement as some of the songs are still being recorded and the band didn’t seem certain yet whether the album’s gonna have 14 or 15 songs on it, so the revelation of the tracklist is currently at the bottom of the announcement list. However, hope dies last.
