After a day off, Simple Plan returned back to stage last night in Bologna, Italy and what a sight it was! During the soundcheck, both Pierre and Chuck sported some new Simple Plan merch again and Pierre kept it even for the show itself. At soundcheck, the guys teased the fans for the first time on this tour with the song “I Refuse”, which has slowly become many fans’ favorite, which resulted in a great mosh pit amongst soundcheck attendees.
The guys eventually added “I Refuse” to the show’s setlist, replacing “Kiss Me Like Nobody’s Watching” and to a big surprise to many fans, they also played “Astronaut” (without Chuck’s drums) – instead of “This Song Saved My Life”. And Nostalgic made its return in place of Farewell.
