Canadian Simple Plan tour with The Offspring canceled due to COVID-19 surge

Simple Plan promised to deliver an update soon on the upcoming Canadian tour with The Offspring, which was supposed to kick off in just a few weeks at the end of January – and they did so today. As some fans have already assumed, due to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases due to the rapidly spreading Omicron variant of the coronavirus, the situation wasn’t ideal for a cross-country tour to take place – for health reasons as well as logistical reasons. And therefore in a deeply apologetic statement, Simple Plan just confirmed that both Simple Plan and The Offspring have decided to cancel the entire tour. Ticket holders will be fully refunded automatically.

You can read the full statement from Simple Plan bellow:

“We are really disappointed to announce that the ‘Let The Bad Times Roll’ tour with The Offspring in Canada has to be cancelled due to the current COVID-19 surge. It’s really a bummer to have to do this, but after many discussions with the promoter and The Offspring, we all came to the conclusion that the tour just can’t happen right now, unfortunately.

We’re really sorry that we can’t play for you at the moment and be a part of this amazing tour that we were looking forward to so much. We’re already working on finding new dates when we can come back and we will update you as soon as possible.

Everyone who bought a ticket will be getting their money back and refunds will be processed automatically so keep an eye out for more info from your point of purchase.

Once again, we apologize and can’t wait to see all of you again soon.

Stay healthy and safe.”
