Setlist of the second leg of Simple Plan’s European tour revealed!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 6. May 2016 | 1 comment

Tonight, Simple Plan played the first show of the second half of their 2016 European tour in Stuttgart, Germany. There were many surprises throughout the show such as new design of the ‘Summer Paradise’ beach balls (black & white) or a surprise on-stage marriage proposal [which I will cover in a separate article along with a video from the cute moment], but the the fans were mostly looking forward to seeing which songs Simple Plan decided to play on this tour.

And while the setlist may change slightly, just like during the first leg of the tour Simple Plan kept changing 4 songs on the setlist, you can see that most of the songs stayed very similar to the first leg’s setlist with one major addition: the newest single ‘Singing In The Rain’, which the band performed for the first time ever live on stage in Stuttgart. Meanwhile another fan-favorite, The Rest Of Us was unfortunately not played last night, however it did appear on the printed setlist – it seems the guys may have skipped it to make room for the proposal.

Check out the full setlist below [big thanks to Lena & Viola for sending it in so quickly!]:

1. Opinion Overload
2. Jet Lag
3. Jump (‘I Gotta Feeling‘ snippet)
4. I’d Do Anything
5. Boom
6. Welcome to My Life
7. Your Love Is A Lie
8. I Refuse
9. Singing In The Rain
10. Party medley (‚Uptown Funk‘ / ‚Can’t Feel My Face‘ cover)
11. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
12. Summer Paradise
13. Farewell
14. Crazy
15. I’m Just a Kid

Encore:
16. Shut Up!
17. Perfect World
18. This Song Saved My life (no drums)
19. Perfect

What do you think of the new setlist? Which songs would you add to it?

AUTHOR: Dominika | 5. May 2016 | no comments

If we needed just one more proof how incredible the Czech fans of Simple Plan are, here’s one: last week, Simple Plan’s new music video for ‘Singing In The Rain’ was added to Czech music TV’s Óčko music video chart as a new addition (N1). From there, by the fans’ votes, it was able to move up to any of the 20 places that are available on the Óčko chart.

And the fans made sure they wouldn’t let their band down and voted their fingers off. And thanks to their dedication, Simple Plan’s ‘Singing In The Rain’ climbed all the way up to the #2 spot on Óčko chart, beating several high profile artists, such as Justin Bieber, Sia or Meghan Trainor! Incredible. Congratulations!

You can help keep Simple Plan up on the chart’s #2 spot for next week – and even help them reach #1 too by voting for them daily on the link below:

Simple Plan tease big upcoming announcement

AUTHOR: Dominika | 4. May 2016 | no comments

Today on their official Instagram profile (@simpleplan) in advance of their European tour, Simple Plan posted a message, claiming they have “another big announcement coming!”

Since the album’s out, new single and video have just been released, it’s very probable that this announcement will have something to do with the band’s plans for the second half of the year. That could possibly mean a tour across South America, which has been previously discussed to take place this fall, along with a tour across Canada and the U.S, possibly even Australia. However, for what lies behind the actual announcement, we’ll have to wait a little bit [notice the lack of ‘soon’].

In the meantime, check out the full version of this brand new photoshoot that the band accompanied this Instagram post with, which you can now find in the SimplePlan.cz gallery:
