Simple Plan nominated for 2 prestigious ADISQ awards for TOFTT!

The Québec Association for the Recording, Concert and Video Industry (ADISQ) just revealed the nominations for this year’s ADISQ awards, which are annually given out to the most deserving artists in Canada.

And after long 4 years, Simple Plan have been nominated for an ADISQ award again!

Just like in 2012 with Get Your Heart On! (when they unfortunately did not win), Simple Plan are nominated in 2 categories: “Anglophone album of the year” (for Taking One For The Team) and also Quebec’s artist of the year with the most success outside Quebec. The latter category is also the only one Simple Plan have ever received an ADISQ award for – in 2006 [see photos here]. You can check out the full list of all the awards & nominations the band has ever received in this section.

The award-giving ceremony for Gala ADISQ 2016 will be taking place on October 30th on Radio Canada.
