Tonight Simple Plan performed one of the two headlining shows on this short June European tour – in Zurich, Switzerland. The show was circa 90 minutes long, meaning that its setlist might give us a clue about what the setlist for the longer festival slots on this European run might look like! We’ve already shown you the short festival setlist from France – in Italy, the band added What’s New Scooby Doo. In Switzerland however, the fans got to rock out for 21 songs in total.
And thanks to our dearest fans (Yva & Charlotte), we managed to get a closer look at the full setlist! According to them, the band also added The Lucky One on the spot, contrary to the written down setlist.

After Rock Am Ring, Simple Plan headed to Pratteln, Switzerland yesterday, to perform another show which is a part of their No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls 15th anniversary tour. Many international fans gathered there to witness this concert and enjoy yet another stunning show. And what a show it was indeed!
Loud crowd, great atmosphere, untied shoelaces someone tripped over (right, Pierre?) – all that was a part of the show at the local Konzertfabrik Z7 Bleibt venue. But that wasn’t all of it. Since it was their new technician’s Callum Amies’ (who you better know as the lead singer of The Bottom Line) 25th birthday that day, the guys first wished him all the best at soundcheck and then took the time to do it again in a much bigger way – right in the middle of their own show. Check out their Instagram story from this moment below:
Of course, as this concert was a part of the No Pads tour, Simple Plan went from the festival setlist back to the classic No Pads setlist, which we’ve already seen in Berlin and Hamburg. Check it out below:
1. I’d Do Anything
2. The Worst Day Ever
3. You Don’t Mean Anything
4. I’m Just A Kid
5. When I’m With You
6. Meet You There
7. Addicted
8. My Alien
9. God Must Hate Me
10. I Won’t Be There
11. One Day
12. Grow Up
13. Perfect
Encore:
14. Shut Up!
15. Jump
16. Boom
17. Your Love Is A Lie
18. Summer Paradise
19. Crazy
20. Welcome To My Life
And it wouldn’t be a complete review of the show, if you couldn’t look through some of the first pictures from this show, which are now available in the SimplePlan.cz gallery:
The last show of the month May was reserved for Geneva, Switzerland, where the members of Simple Plan also had a well-deserved day off the day before. And with their tour manager Danny Vance finally back for this show [and the rest of the tour], the band was now 110% ready to kick off another successful No Pads show.
Since the opening bands will be switching up quite a lot on this European tour, it’s important to note that for the first time on this European tour, The Bottom Line were not performing and were replaced by another British band – Milestones (however Callum Amies from The Bottom Line still continues being a crew member for SP). Mallory Knox were still on, though – as they will be for most of the tour.
As expected, since it was a show in a French-speaking territory, the whole show was in French. With that said, Pierre apparently tried to use as little of his Québécois accent as he could, as some French-speaking Europeans might not have understood him otherwise.
When it comes to the overall atmosphere, the show wasn’t as packed with crowdsurfers and moshers as the previous two shows in Germany, but there was one crowdsurfer, who after almost being dropped eventually ended up being carried out of the crowd in Danny’s arms. That crowdsurfer was Chuck… obviously.
If you look at the picture of the setlist (provided by Yva – thanks!), your first guess might be that nothing has changed since Germany. But looks can be deceiving. What happened was Simple Plan decided to add one more song to the setlist on the last minute – right in between Your Love Is A Lie and Summer Paradise – and that was the French version of Jet Lag!
Watch a video that captures this song here:

And finally, let’s have a look at some of the first professional pictures from last night’s show in Geneva:
A number of fans from around the world recently sent SimplePlan.cz pictures from their encounters with the members of Simple Plan throughout 2016 and you can now have a look at them yourself below. There awesome pictures include pizza parties in Jakarta (Indonesia) and Bilbao (Spain), soundcheck party in Mexico City (Mexico) and also at the SMAC festival in Switzerland.
Big thanks to Daniela, Raph, Lola and Revy for sending in their photos. If you have any pictures with SP from the past as well – or perhaps some pics of SP from various events you saw them at and would like to submit them to the SP.cz gallery, e-mail me (info@simpleplan.cz)!
In the gallery you can now have a look at a bunch of amazing professional photos from the SMAC festival in Switzerland and the show in Turin, Italy [check out the setlist for Turin here], where they guys performed on May 15th and 16th respectively.
