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:
