As a part of the Asian leg of their Taking One For The Team tour, Simple Plan headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia next, where they perfromed at KL Live last night for about 2000 people. Come have a look at some of the first amazing shots from this show (more coming soon!):
In just a couple of days it will be exactly two years since Pierre and Chuck got together with Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) and Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) to write some new Simple Plan music. Unfortunately none of the songs the guys came up with made it onto the final cut of the ‘Taking One For The Team’ record, but the songs do exist somewhere in some form.. on Chuck’s laptop possibly.
And while what exactly turned out of the collaboration with Mark Hoppus is still unknown, the song-title from the collaborative song-writing effort with Alex Gaskarth has slipped into the internetverse recently – the song was called “Constellation”.
Now, whether this was a sequel to ‘Astronaut’, we will probably never know. Or maybe, perhaps, if the guys ever decide to release some of the left-over songs from the making of ‘Taking One For The Team’, as they did with “Get Your Heart On: The Second Coming” in 2013, then we might get a listen of that song eventually. But, there are no definite plans for an EP as of right now, although the band is thinking of that possibility, according to various recent interviews.
Simple Plan will be once again reunited with their old friends from All Time Low very soon – in November they are heading out on their Canadian tour, where All Time Low will be opening for them once again, along with PVRIS.
What do you think a song called ‘Constellation’ could be about? Would you like to hear it eventually?
Thanks to a couple of very observant fans, it has come to our attention that the American version of the ‘Survivor’ TV reality show that airs on CBS decided to use Simple Plan’s song ‘Generation’, from their self-titled album (2008), in the new promo for the show.
This new season of the show features two different tribes, each representing a different generation – millenials vs. generation X. Check out below how the creators of the show fittingly used Simple Plan’s ‘Generation’ in the promo:

Just when you thought Simple Plan were already done announcing new dates in their homeland, here they are with another one! The band has decided to prolong their November tour across Canada by adding one additional date – in Moncton, NB, where they performed just a little over a year ago.
This concert will be the only one on the Canadian tour run which won’t include All Time Low and PVRIS as special guests, however fans can expect USS, a fellow band on Simple Plan’s management’s roster, to open the show for them.
The show will take place a day after Simple Plan’s Montreal date – that means on November 24th. Tickets should go on sale soon.
In the meantime, check out the details below:

Before their day off today, Simple Plan rocked The Coliseum venue in Singapore last night. The show has been very well percieved by the fans (and even non fans who came to the show anyway), according to their reports on social media. And it wasn’t all just about the spectacle! Just like it’s happened a few times before, Simple Plan brought one of the fans on stage during one of the intermissions and took a picture with her. As you will be able to see from the pictures in the gallery, the lucky girl was so happy she jumped straight into Pierre’s arms, hugging him with her legs.
The setlist once again brought no special surprises, but you can check it out below anyway:
