Czech fans holding up signs during The Rest Of Us, a surprise for the band

Exactly one year ago today Simple Plan performed the biggest show of their 2016 European tour – in Prague, Czech Republic, where they performed in the sold-out Malá Sportovní Hala venue for more than 4000 people. This was the third SP show that Prague got to experience (previous two took place in 2008 and 2011), and as this is an originally Czech fansite, this show has of course a very big significance for us. And to Simple Plan too – in fact they have mentioned numerous time that alongside Cologne and Rome, Prague was one of the best shows of the Taking One For The Team tour in Europe.
Whether it was the cold weather outside, the fun (and quite big) soundcheck party, the great opening bands, the special on-stage thank you from Pierre to SimplePlan.cz, the fabulous SimplePlan.cz sign surprise the fans had for the band during ‘The Rest Of Us’ or the exciting show itself – it will definitely be one of the most memorable shows for the local (and even for the not-so-local) fans [if you missed it, make sure to read the SP.cz review the Prague show].
Thankfully, Prague is lucky to welcome the Simple Plan guys again very very soon – they will be back for the Aerodrome Festival with Linkin Park and more on June 11th and it will be a blast! Don’t miss it, if you’re in the area!
As always, I’m already preparing to interview the band again in Prague, so if you have any awesome, never-been-asked-before questions in your mind, send them my way! This is the last interview SimplePlan.cz did with Chuck and Seb/b> (and David, sitting on the floor in front of us, listening), before the show in Prague a year ago:
And until the next show in Prague, let’s reminisce about the 2016 heck of a show with some awesome photos in the gallery and also with this nice little video montage of the whole show Bára has put together:
