Simple Plan rocked the stage at the sold-out show in Boston

The shows of the NPNHJB tour just seem to be getting better and better over time. After a day off, Simple Plan returned to the stage last night in Boston, MA, where they were presented with a sold-out show at the House Of Blues Boston, which holds up to 2500 people.

The setlist received just a tiny change in comparison to the previous shows: ‘Jet Lag’ was replaced by the song ‘This Song Saved My Life’, who’s music video coincidentally celebrates its 4th birthday today. The whole setlist looked like this:

1. I’d Do Anything
2. The Worst Day Ever
3. You Don’t Mean Anything
4. I’m Just A Kid
5. When I’m With You
6. Meet You There
7. Addicted
8. My Alien
9. God Must Hate Me
10. I Won’t Be There
11. One Day
12. Grow Up
13. Perfect

Encore:
14. Shut Up!
15. Jump
16. Boom
17. Your Love Is A Lie
18. This Song Saved My Life
19. Crazy
20. Welcome To My Life

Check out this moment during Crazy where Pierre thanked the fans for being the reason why Simple Plan are still here:

Simple Plan appear in promo video for GRIS prize for students fighting against homophobia

If you’ve been following Simple Plan news for a while, you know that the band gets very involved in a number of social causes with their Simple Plan Foundation. A couple years ago, in cooperation with the GRIS Montreal organization, they created he so called “GRIS-Simple Plan Foundation prize”, which is annually awarded to one students initiative in Quebec, which helps fight against homophobia (see posts about the awards given out in 2015, 2014 and 2013).

GRIS Montreal, who’s goal is to help demystify homosexuality and bisexuality at schools in the whole province of Quebec, recently revealed its new promo video for the GRIS-Simple Plan Foundation prize. The video starts out with Singing In The Rain in the background and with a number of students discussing the subject of homosexuality and how they decided to help demystify it in their own school. In the end of the video, Jeff, Chuck and Sebastien invite more students to take part in this social cause and help make the world a better place.

The prize consists of a $2000 scholarship (which is to be used to finance future activities in their school environment, this time aiming at combating all forms of discrimination – racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.), a commemorative plaque and a certificate for each person who participated in the project.

Check out the brand new promo video for the GRIS-Simple Plan Foundation prize below and don’t forget to also check out the gallery here, where you can now also find a behind the scenes picture from making of this video with Simple Plan in February.
