After Anaheim, Simple Plan headed to Los Angeles for another show of their current No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls tour, which, just like the previous one was completely sold-out.

As this was an LA show, there is no surprise that quite the number of familiar faces could have been spotted in the crowd, such as Frank Borin (SP’s long-time friend and music video director) or three members of the band 5 Seconds Of Summer (Luke Hemmings, Ashton Irwin and Calum Hood) – all enjoying their friends’ show at The Wiltern.

Another person who was at the show was Fil Thorpe-Evans, the bassist for Neck Deep, who even tweeted out about his love for Simple Plan after the show:

Simple Plan performed their traditional 90-minutes-long set, which consisted of all of the songs from their 1st record and a mix of the best of’s from the other albums in the 7-songs-long encore.

Check out a short video filmed from the front of house last night below:

As if it wasn’t enough that on Tuesday 5 Seconds Of Summer referenced Simple Plan during their set in Toronto, Canada, last night in Montreal the Australians took it to the next level and paid respects to one of their favorite childhood bands Simple Plan by playing their song ‘Perfect’ on stage in their hometown.

5 Seconds Of Summer reference Simple Plan at a show in Toronto

Last night, on July 12th 2016, the Australian band 5 Seconds Of Summer performed at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto, Canada, at a concert that’s part of their Sounds Live Feels Live tour.

In the midst of their set, the band decided to play a little homage to the city of Toronto, often nicknamed as “The Six” [a nickname whose usage grew in the past few months after Drake’s new album ‘Views’‘s original title was announced as ‘Views from the Six’]. This homage included the band singing the words “Living in the Six with …” and adding various Canadian musicians they could think of. And besides Drake, Avril Lavigne, The Weeknd and Nickelback, the boys from 5SOS also didn’t fail to mention their pals from Simple Plan, which was of course met with very loud screams from the crowd.

Are you already tired of listening to the same old pop punk Xmas songs? Is ‘My Christmas List’ too old for you? Well you’re in luck, cause some of the biggest names of pop-punk have just released a collaborative version of the popular Christmas song called ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’

The song features All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth, Simple Plan’s Pierre Bouvier, Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden, 5 Seconds of Summer’s Ashton Irwin and Goldfinger’s John Feldmann!

The song was first mentioned today by Alex Gaskarth on his Facebook page, where he wrote:

Hello my loves!

Around this time last year, me and some good friends thought it’d be fun to record a holiday jam for the world to hear. We lit a fire, made hot chocolate, and put our musical spin on a holiday classic, with producer genius, John Feldmann at the helm!

We all knew we wanted to do something special with it to help people, so we decided to wait until this year to give everyone a listen! We’ve been working with Ryan Seacrest Foundation to raise money for an amazing cause, so we ask that in return for this track, you donate whatever you can spare to the foundation. Please follow the links and give whatever you can!

Big thanks to Ashton (5 Seconds of Summer), Joel (Good Charlotte), Pierre (Simple Plan), and John (Goldfinger) for collaborating on this with me! Holiday super groups are the best kind!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and thanks for listening! Hope you enjoy!

Get into the Xmas spirit below by listening to the song below + what more – it’s also available for free download!

Come on over here by the fire
It’s cold outside
No-one wants to be cold at Christmas baby
Oh yeah

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

As I’ve informed you last week, Simple Plan appeared on the Australian morning TV show Sunrise today, however not live and not directly from Niagara Falls (although that was where today’s show was broadcast from). The pre-taped interview with Pierre and Chuck took place on a beach in L.A. and in it, the guys gave the Sunrise team some tips how to overcome Jet Lag and also were asked to give some advice to 5 Seconds Of Summer.

Check it out below (thanks Brett for the video):
