UPDATED: First look at Simple Plan’s European tour setlist!

Last night, Simple Plan performed their first show of their long-awaited headlining ‘Hard As Rock Tour’ in Europe, which they kicked off in Paris, France, where they managed to sell out 3 shows in a row at the Bataclan venue.

The Simple Plan concert itself was standard length (about hour and half) and before the fans got to enjoy three opening acts: AIR YEL, State Champs and Mayday Parade. In total, the band performed 21 tracks, which you can check out below:

SETLIST (Paris, France / January 18th 2024)
1. I’d Do Anything
2. Shut Up!
3. Jump
4. Jet Lag (French Version)
5. Your Love Is a Lie
6. Addicted
7. You Suck at Love
8. Welcome to My Life
9. Iconic
10. Summer Paradise
11. Take My Hand
12. Astronaut
13. Party medley (All Star / Sk8er Boi / Mr. Brightside)
14. What’s New Scooby Doo?
15. A Million Pictures of You
16. Where I Belong (feat. Derek Discanio from State Champs)

Encore:
17. Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)
18. I’m Just a Kid
19. Untitled
20. Cover: Oasis – Wonderwall (shortened)
21. Perfect

The setlist should slightly change every night of the tour (especially possibly during the three Paris shows), so we will keep you updated with any major changes. Most of the setlist’s structure should remain the same, so you can prepare yourself for most of these hits at your show!

UPDATE: Simple Plan did indeed switch things up a little bit on the second night in Paris. Instead of Your Love Is A Lie, they played Can’t Keep My Hands Off You and instead of Wake Me Up, the band performed Congratulations. They also added a French version of What’s New Scooby Doo? feat. Kyoshi Sad. This meant that there was no Oasis cover on the second night.

Check out the second setlist below:

Simple Plan to return to the Czech Republic: announced for Rock For People festival!

As expected, ever since the days of the already announced festivals in Europe for next year have become suspiciously close to the dates of the most popular rock festival here, Simple Plan have been announced today to perform at the Rock For People festival in the Czech Republic. The festival will be taking place from 8th to 11th June in Hradec Králové, which is located a little over an hour from Prague. According to the first “advent calendar” announcement, which brought us this news, Simple Plan are supposed to be one of the subheadliners there.

So far besides SP, fans who will be attending this festival can also look forward to acts such as Slipknot, The 1975, MUSE, Billy Talent and many more still yet to be announced.

The tickets to the festival are already available here with more one-day tickets likely to be released later when more bands have been announced.
