Last night Simple Plan performed at their first festival, which is a part of this leg of their European tour – at Longlive Rockfest in Lyon, France and the local crowds were in for a really wonderful surprise! Simple Plan decided to replace their new single ‘Singing In The Rain’ with one of their old school rock tracks which the fans have not heard live in quite a few years – ‘Me Against The World’. However, it is quite possible that the band decided for this move only because this was a show at a rock festival and MATW fit the atmosphere better than SITR; that being said, we probably won’t see MATW on the upcoming regular non-festival dates.
Anyway, check out the full setlist from last night:
2. Jet Lag
3. Jump (‘I Gotta Feeling‘ snippet)
4. I’d Do Anything
5. Boom
6. Welcome to My Life
7. Your Love Is A Lie
8. I Refuse
9. Me Against The World
10. Party medley (‚Uptown Funk‘ / ‚Can’t Feel My Face‘ cover)
11. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
12. Farewell
13. Summer Paradise
14. Crazy
15. I’m Just a Kid
Encore:
16. Shut Up!
17. Perfect World
18. This Song Saved My life (no drums)
19. Perfect
