After a day off on Saturday, the members of Simple Plan kept busy in the past two days, playing a acoustic set firstly in Pittsburgh for 100.7 Star and then yesterday in Memphis at the local Hard Rock Cafe for FM100 Memphis.
The setlist of the acoustic shows was the same as in Orlando. The band performed Welcome To My Life, I’d Do Anything, Jet Lag, Addicted, Singing In The Rain, Shut Up and Perfect.
Check out some of the first pictures from these events in the gallery:
Simple Plan ain’t stopping with releasing new and new behind the scenes shots from their European tour, taken by their photographer and friend Chady. Check out this brand new one, published on SP’s Instagram yesterday:
Last Friday, Simple Plan performed at 97.9 WRMF’s Dirty Martini in Palm Beach, FL. The club has now released a bunch of new professional pictures from that night that include the Simple Plan show and also partially them hanging ou with the event’s attendees. Check out the pics in the gallery:
Simple Plan recently posted a brand new photoshoot of the full band which comes from their recent tour in Europe. Check out full size of this cool picture in the gallery:
Whether it’s because of the commotion Simple Plan’s current acoustic promo tour is causing, or just because they haven’t played in the U.S. for so long, it’s starting to get pretty clear that the American Simple Plan fans missed the band quite a lot and still are very loyal to them. It took only 2 hours for the show in West Hollywood, CA to sell out, after the tickets went on sale this Friday morning. Simple Plan will be heading out on the tour across the U.S. in October with Story Untold and Hit The Lights – you can check out the list and info on all the upcoming Simple Plan tourdates in this section.
And it’s not just the tickets to the U.S. shows that are selling well – it’s also the VIP tickets to the so-called “pizza parties”, which include many perks, such as pizza and photos with the members of the band, early access to merch etc. Within a day, the pizza parties (that are open to up to 40 fans on each date) in New York, Cleveland and Chicago are already sold-out and according to Chuck, the remaining VIP tickets are selling very fast. If you’re still thinking about attending a VIP party in the U.S., make sure to act fast, as the tickets for your city may be gone soon too. More info on all the upcoming VIP pizza parties can be found here.
This interest in Simple Plan shows in the U.S. is of course a big confidence boost for Simple Plan and it may have positive impact on the future tour announcements and possibly a part two to the U.S. tour.
