AUTHOR: Dominika | 14. October 2023 | no comments

On Friday, October 13th 2023, Simple Plan released a brand new music video for their new single ‘Iconic’ featuring a new collaboration with singer/songwriter Jax. The music video consists of clips from the band’s recent world tour and was filmed by Anna Lee, Skyler Barberio, Josh Kim and Braverijah Gregg.

The new version of ‘Iconic’ features a brand new verse by Jax, which includes a number of name drops including Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett. The verse goes as follows:

If I had a dime for every time
Someone in a suit said I should try
To look a little more like Britney
Sing a little more like Whitney
I’d be
Richer than Besos and Buffet combined
But I’d rather eat Cup O Noodles and cry
Speaking the words that are mine
‘Cause Whit is the shit And Brit is the shit
‘Cause they don’t give a shit about trying to fit

Simple Plan to release new version of Iconic feat. Jax next week!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 7. October 2023 | no comments

Simple Plan recently revealed they will be releasing a brand new version of their song ‘Iconic’, this time with a very cool featuring – the American singer/songwriter Jax! You can already pre-save the song on streaming platforms and patiently wait till Friday, October 13th, when the new collaboration drops.

But now… Who is Jax? Jax, born Jaclyn Cole Miskanic (27), grew to fame in 2015 when she placed 3rd in the 14th season of American Idol. Since then, the singer has been releasing her own music while being also very active on social media – especially TikTok. Jax’s biggest hits to date, which made her enter the music charts, include her viral hit songs ‘Like My Father’ and ‘Victoria’s Secret’.

Simple Plan’s collaboration with Jax has been in works for months now. We even asked Chuck and Jeff from Simple Plan about this possible collaboration during our latest SimplePlan.cz interview at Rock For People and the boys indirectly confirmed both a collaboration with Jax as well her connection to the song ‘Iconic’. You can listen to this interview here.

Jax has already performed her version of the song ‘Iconic’ with Simple Plan at Jones Beach Theatre in Wantagh, NY, USA on September 2nd (during their tour with The Offspring and Sum 41), where the fans got to hear her new verse for the first time. Check it out on the video below:

Pierre and Jax have also recorded a new TikTok, promoting their new collaboration hitting the waves next Friday. Check it out below:

Simple Plan’s European tour begins to sell-out – band adds extra Paris date

AUTHOR: Dominika | 18. August 2023 | no comments

It’s been less than a month that Simple Plan announced their upcoming European tour for January and February of next year and given it’s their first headlining tour in years, of course the tickets started immediately flying off the imaginary shelves of ticketing companies.

As of right now, 5 shows of the tour – Paris (January 19th and 20th), Munich (January 26th), Antwerp (February 7th) and Bristol (February 13th) – are already sold-out. Lucky for the French fans, not only they had two Paris shows to choose from to begin with, but given the extraordinary demand, they decided to add another extra show in Paris on January 18th, making them appear in France three times on this tour.

If you still don’t have tickets for this tour, we strongly recommend you purchasing them as soon as possible (find the links here). There are only a handful days off on this tour and it is highly unlikely the band would be adding any more extra dates. See you on tour!
