VLOG: 500 fans at the airport in Mexico City

The day before last night’s Simple Plan show in Mexico City, the band arrived to the capital city of Mexico, and as it’s become pretty popular over the past few years, the band was greetedby a heard of fans at the airport. And if only it was a heard! According to the boys, as much as 500 fans showed up at the airport, forcing the airport security to advise the band to escape via private exit. However the band assured the security they can handle the fans and that they would like to see them.

Check out how it all turned out in the new vlog below:
