Simple Plan announce more shows for 2024: Brazil sideshow, European festivals and another When We Were Young!

2024 is already shaping up to be quite the tour year for Simple Plan! As you all already know, the beginning of the year will be dedicated to their first headlining tour with Harder Than It Looks and they will be bringing it to Europe in January and February. After that, SP will finally make a grand return to Brazil in March, after which they will head over to Australia in April. And in June and July the guys will be back in Europe for the summer festival season.

Now, recently, Simple Plan announced a few more dates for 2024! So, let’s have a look at them.

First, Simple Plan added an I Wanna Be Tour sideshow in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as their Sao Paulo on March 1st, I Wanna Be Tour date a day later sold-out within just a few hours. This is a great way to see Simple Plan on their own smaller headlining show before the bigger festival type of gigs in Brazil with the I Wanna Be Tour, which comprises of multiple bands on the line-up.

Another additions on the 2024 tourlist are some new festival dates in Europe: Simple Plan added some dates in France, Netherlands and Italy, which means they will be staying in Europe at least until the beginning of July, meaning there will very likely be more European dates in the beginning of July.

And finally! The extremely successful When We Were Young festival will be repeated next year again and after this year’s excellent two shows, the SP boys will of course be back for the 2024 edition. While We Were Young will take place on October 19th (which has already sold-out) and also 20th in Las Vegas. Oh, and one more exciting bit: all bands present at the festival will be playing one chosen album in full – Simple Plan picked their debut album, No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls. Exciting!

Here’s a recap of the newly added dates:

1/MAR/2024 – I Wanna Be tour – Sao Paulo, Brazil

26/JUN/2024 – Festival de Nîmes – Nîmes, France 

28/JUN/2024 – Jera On Air Festival – Ysselsteyn, Netherlands

Simple Plan announce more shows for 2023!

Simple Plan’s schedule for 2023 is slowly starting to get pretty full as more and more dates keep being added. Let’s have a short roundup of all of them you might have missed!

ASIA:

Recently, it has been announced that Simple Plan will be playing one extra non-festival concert in Japan before their gig at PunkSpring – on March 24th they will be playing a club in Tokyo.

EUROPE:

Central European fans will be happy about the following news – on their June festival run in Europe, Simple Plan will also be making a stop in Budapest – particularly they will be part of the Budapest Park Festival on June 6th – a gig in between their shows in Switzerland and Austria.

NORTH AMERICA:

And finally (and this one is no surprise) – the band will be making their annual return to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, where they will once again be part of the Epcot Garden Rocks Concert Series, playing multiple shoes a day for four consecutive days from June 23rd to 26th.

You can find all upcoming shows in our Tourdates section.

Simple Plan announced for more festivals in 2023 – plans include Europe, Asia and the U.S!

Hold on to your hats, Simple Plan fans! 2023 will be a big touring year for the band! Let’s have a recap of all we know so far and also reveal some of the new additions to the tour plan!

First of all, the band will be stopping by in Asia early next year – it has been announced that they will be part of the Everblast Festival line-up, which will take place from March 4th to 5th in Jakarta, Indonesia. Besides Simple Plan, fans will also get to see acts like Hoobastank or The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. You can check out more info about the festival here. Given how far Asia is, it is very likely that this won’t be SP’s only stop on the continent. We’ll keep you posted once we know more!

Now let’s move on to the summer – that part of the year will (at least partly) belong to Europe! After already announcing their appearance at the Nova Rock festival in Austria (June 7th 2023), Simple Plan have just been also added to the line-up of next year’s Download Festival in the UK (June 8th 2023) and they will also appear at the first ever Slam Dunk Festival in Italy (June 2nd 2023) and France (June 3rd 2023).

And so far, it looks like the end of the year will all about the U.S. again, since Simple Plan are scheduled for at least one show there so far – the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas (October 21st 2023). Unfortunately, tickets to this festival are already sold-out.

Simple Plan back on tour in the U.S.: check out the new setlist feat. a cover of ‘Wonderwall’

After a little summer break, Simple Plan are back on the Blame Canada co-headlining tour with Sum 41 in the U.S., which will continue until August 28th. This time around, the boys are hitting mostly cities on the western coast with the exception of the final three dates, which will take place in New York and New Jersey to make up for the canceled shows from the first leg of this tour (which were then canceled due to positive covid tests in the Sum 41 camp).

As far as the setlist of the show goes, it mostly remained very similar to the one Simple Plan had on the first leg of the tour. Of course, every night, the guys like to switch up a couple of songs to make the shows always a little different. But the main structure of the setlist remains the same. The band also still incorporates a cover “party medley” in the middle of the show, where they cover Smash Mouth’s ‘All Star’, Avril Lavigne’s ‘Sk8er Boi’ and The Killers’ ‘Mr. Brightside’. Besides these cover, there is one extra cover that Simple Plan has played at most of the recent shows toward the end of the show right before ‘Untitled’ or ‘Perfect’ – and that is the cover of Oasis’ legendary song ‘Wonderwall’.

Check out the setlist of the most recent show in San Diego (August 5th):

  1. I’d Do Anything
  2. Shut Up!
  3. Jump
  4. The Worst Day Ever
  5. Addicted
  6. Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)
  7. Summer Paradise
  8. Welcome To My Life
  9. Take My Hand
  10. Crazy
  11. Iconic
  12. Party medley (All Star / Sk8er Boi / Mr. Brightside)
  13. What’s New Scooby-Doo?
  14. Where I Belong
  15. I’m Just A Kid
  16. Wonderwall (Oasis cover)
  17. Perfect
