Simple Plan ended the TOFTT tour cycle with the last show at a hot-air-balloon festival in Canada with Perfect World & Untitled on the setlist!

On Saturday, August 11th, Pierre, Chuck, Jeff and Sebastien all gathered in the city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu near Montreal, QC, Canada to perform the very last set of their Taking One For The Team tour cycle. After this concert, the band’s plans are to get back to writing and hopefully reach the studio a bit later down the road and produce a brand new album [in fact, Simple Plan have previously stated they would like to release some new music hopefully early next year].

The final show of the tour took place at the International Hot-Air-Balloon Festival in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and since it was in such a close proximity to the band’s hometown, many of their friends could have been seen in the crowd, including the band’s graphic designer Fred Jerome, or their former merch manager, photographer and co-host of the Man Of The Hour show – Patrick Langlois (also known as the “6th member of Simple Plan). Besides them, the band members’ families were also present at the show, which Simple Plan took advantage of during I’m Just A Kid, when they invited their own kids on stage (as well as some other ones) to take a group picture with their dads… and Patrick and his son [check it out above].

Before the show started, Simple Plan had a soundcheck that was open to public, during which Pierre got down from the stage to interract with the crowd a bit and give plenty of high-fives, while singing ‘Farewell’ [check out a video of this cool moment here]

As far as the actual concert goes, it was the first show after a whole summer of shorter sets, that Simple Plan got to perform a full setlist. Similarly to their appearance at the Pro-Am Gagné-Bergeron ice-hockey match two days before, they kept Untitled on the setlist [see the video below!] and to make the night even more special they also added Perfect World!

Check out the full setlist below (big thanks to Jen!):
