Simple Plan tease the release of their new Warped Tour documentary ‘One Last Warped Summer’

At the official kick off show of this year’s special 25th anniversary Warped Tour concerts in Cleveland, at the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame, the guys from Simple Plan also took part in the opening of the special Warped Tour exhibit, which featured various memorabilia tied to this legendary punk rock summer cross-country festival, which officially ended last year.

As a part of this exhibition, Simple Plan got to premiere a special documentary called ‘One Last Warped Summer’, directed by Peter John, who followed the band on Warped Tour all summer long last year. The full documentary that also includes a number of exclusive interviews, was showed at the Warped Tour exhibit at the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH on Saturday but for the rest of us who missed it, Simple Plan are already making sure to find a way to make this film available to all their fans around the world. Stay tuned for more details!

In the meantime, have a look at the first teaser trailer for ‘One Last Warped Summer’. We’re getting major A Big Package For You vibes… how about you?

David Desrosiers officially returned to touring with Simple Plan last night at Warped Tour after 2 years

Guess who’s back, back again, David’s back, tell a friend!

That’s right! Last night, the members of Simple Plan gathered at the first of three 25th anniversary Warped Tour installments in Cleveland, but this time around it wasn’t just the four of them. After battling depression, focusing on his own mental health and not touring for 2 whole years (ever since May 2017), David Desrosiers, Simple Plan’s bassist and backing vocalist, made a grand return on stage with his band right there yesterday at Warped Tour.

We’re sure you’re as excited as us to finally see him perform with SP, so here you can check out the full Warped Tour set of Simple Plan from last night in Cleveland, OH. Make sure to watch especially the beginning, where at mark 2:08 Pierre officially welcomed David back on stage:

[the video is missing the band performing the first song of the setlist – ‘I’d Do Anything’ – however you can watch it here at mark 5:52:15]

David’s bandmates also couldn’t contain their excitement of their friend being back on the road with them, so some of them took to their social media to express their feelings and properly welcome him back. Let’s have a look at what they wrote:

We are so happy to welcome back our friend and brother @daviddesrosiers on stage with us tonight in Cleveland after a 2 year hiatus. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

It’s been a long and difficult journey for David fighting depression and mental health issues and we are so thrilled to know he’s doing better and feels ready to join us again on the road.

We look forward to having him play with us at all our shows this summer and be a part of our new SP album.

David and the band would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to all our fans for the support you have shown him during his time away. Your messages of love and encouragement have meant so much and we can’t wait to play for you and share our new music. 🖤🖤🖤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

– Simple Plan –

Such a pleasure to have our brother David Desrosiers back with us after such a long absence! So happy to see you healthy and strong my man! It wasn’t the same without ya. #davidsback

– Pierre Bouvier –

Welcome back, David! 🙌🏻 Can’t wait to rock with you again tonight and every night!!

– Chuck Comeau –

Finally, we’d like to ask all the fans to keep being as respectful to David, as they’ve been so far for the past 2 years of his journey to recovery. Even though David is back on tour with Simple Plan, it doesn’t mean that we’ll see him take part in all other SP-related activities (interviews, events etc.). Let’s give David a proper welcome and ease up his return as much as we can. We’re ecstatic you’re back, David!

Simple Plan to appear at all three Warped Tour’s 25th anniversary dates

When Warped Tour‘s Kevin Lyman announced last year that the 2018 edition of this classic punk rock touring festival would be its last the way we had known it for so long, many music fans’ hearts were left shattered because for 24 years, this tour has become a wonderful opportunity to many like-minded people to rock out to their favorite music, enjoy the summer atmosphere and experience some wonderful moments. But.. perhaps we all knew all along that 2018 wouldn’t exactly be a complete end to Warped Tour..

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Vans Warped Tour, tons of bands will be joining together an incredible line-up of artists that will gather for three special dates this summer – and yes, Simple Plan will be one of them!

Simple Plan will be one of only three acts (besides We The Kings and Chali 2na & Cut Chemist) that this year’s Warped Tour attendees will be able to see at all three planned Warped dates. They will be performing at the grand opening event at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH (June 8th), then will follow-up with a show in Atlantic City (June 29th-30th) and you can also catch them at the final show in Mountain View, CA (July 20th-21st).

As we’ve teased earlier, besides Simple Plan, this year’s 25th anniversary of Vans Warped Tour is bringing in quite the line-up: Blink-182, The All-American Rejects, Good Charlotte, SUM 41, We The Kings, Bowling For Soup, The Used, A Day To Remember, Sleeping With Sirens, The Offspring, Bad Religion, Anti-Flag and many many more incredible bands to be announced!

State Champs joined Simple Plan on stage on Warped Tour in Ohio

On Wednesday night, while in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, Simple Plan pulled out the big guns with their now already traditional on-stage surprise guests during ‘I’m Just A Kid’. This time around, the band invited two members of one of the most popular current pop-punk band – State Champs.

The lead singer of State Champs Derek DiScanio and bassist Ryan Scott Graham absolutely rocked the song and later on expressed their excitement over performing with Simple Plan on social media. Check out a photo of State Champs performing with Simple Plan in our gallery and of course make sue to watch the performance on the video below:
