The organizers of this year’s edition of the Aerodrome Festival in Prague, who’s line-up already includes acts such as Simple Plan, Linkin Park, Enter Shikari, Royal Republic and Machine Gun Kelly, have just announced another addition on their line-up: Mallory Knox. As you know, Mallory Knox will also be joining Simple Plan on many other dates of their NPNHJB tour.
And according to the promoters of the festival, it is in fact Simple Plan who are behind the announcement:
“Even though we initially announced that this year’s edition of AF would include 6 bands, here will be 7 bands in total in the end! Thanks to Simple Plan, who came up with the idea (because MK are one of the opening bands on their tour) and thanks to Mallory Knox, who agreed. We are looking forward to Mallory Knox and we will announce the final band’s name in about a month. Enjoy your day and start getting ready for June 11th. It’s going to be a really long day and night!” – Aerodrome Festival
The festival will take place at the Letňany airport in Prague, Czech Republic on Sunday, June 11th.

The announcement of Simple Plan on the line-up of the Jeudis Centre-Ville festival on August 10th in La Tuque, QC, Canada has created an enormous response on social media and according to the organizers of the event, over 10 000 visitors are expected to take part in this festival, which is free of charge. It is fair to point out that the city of La Tuque has just a little over 11 000 inhabiants, which of course means that there have to be some preliminary measures made by the city to help accomodate all the visitors of the event.
According to the press release, the organizers are planning to build a second mobile stage that will be set up specifically to meet the needs of the show of Simple Plan. There will also be 2 giant screens on either side of the main stage. This will prevent huge crowds of people standing in one spot and instead allowing the crowd to disperse – people who don’t want to be in the crowd can comfortably watch the spectacle on the screens, while others can enjoy jumping up and down in the crowd.
To city also works on a development of a special transit system for the occasion, in order to maximize the parking spaces available in the city and to transport spectators on the site in a safe manner. Citizens will be invited to leave their vehicles at home and take advantage of the public transport instead.

For years, it was very hard to get a full glimpse at Pierre’s leg sleeve, which he started working on around 2011, but finally this morning, when bored waiting for his flight home in China, Pierre decided to take a full picture of his leg tattoo and show it to the world. Just like his other tattoos, this one was also done by his tattoo artist and friend Aaron Della Vedova. The tattoo has also covered up Pierre’s very first tattoo, which was an “SP” in a star on his right calf [check out more about every SP member’s tattoos here].
Check out Pierre’s full leg sleeve for yourself:
While the rest of the band has already left yesterday as they are heading back home to Canada before the tour starts next week, Chuck and Pierre had to wait till today for their flight home to California, where they will soon be reunited with their families.
At the airport, the band’s song-writing duo decided to film a little message for their fans. Check it out:
