AUTHOR: Dominika | 4. June 2023 | no comments

Tonight Simple Plan performed one of the two headlining shows on this short June European tour – in Zurich, Switzerland. The show was circa 90 minutes long, meaning that its setlist might give us a clue about what the setlist for the longer festival slots on this European run might look like! We’ve already shown you the short festival setlist from France – in Italy, the band added What’s New Scooby Doo. In Switzerland however, the fans got to rock out for 21 songs in total.

And thanks to our dearest fans (Yva & Charlotte), we managed to get a closer look at the full setlist! According to them, the band also added The Lucky One on the spot, contrary to the written down setlist.

  1. I’d Do Anything
  2. Shut Up!
  3. Jump!
  4. Jet Lag
  5. Your Love Is A Lie
  6. Addicted
  7. You Suck At Love
  8. Welcome To My Life

Simple Plan return to Europe: first festival setlist is here!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 2. June 2023 | no comments

Simple Plan are back on the road and as per usual, they decided to spend the first half of June performing at European festivals! The first one the band hit tonight was in Lyon, France, where the first ever French edition of Slam Dunk (the original UK festival) took place this year. And we already have the setlist!

Now, be mindful that Simple Plan only had a 40-minute time slot at Slam Dunk France, hence why the setlist only includes 9 songs. Throughout their European run this June, the band will also be playing longer setlist (which are yet to be revealed), as they do have some longer time slots at different festivals (for instance at Rock For People in the Czech Republic, they should be playing for 75 minutes.

Check out Simple Plan’s setlist from Slam Dunk France below:

  1. I’d Do Anything
  2. Shut Up
  3. Jump!
  4. Welcome to My Life
  5. Jet Lag
  6. Iconic
  7. Where I Belong
  8. I’m Just a Kid
  9. Perfect

Blink-182 played a cover of Simple Plan’s ‘I’d Do Anything’ at Montreal show

Pop-punk legends Blink-182 performed at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada last night (May 12th) as part of their world tour and while playing their very last song, they paid their respects to Simple Plan by performing a snippet of their song. During the final song of the set, ‘Dammit’, one of the band’s most notorious songs, Blink-182 suddenly switched to perform an interesting rendition of ‘I’d Do Anything’ by Simple Plan, who are well-known to be originate from Montreal. The choice of ‘I’d Do Anything’ is even more special because Blink-182’s singer Mark Hoppus is featured on this track as well as on the music video.

The members of Simple Plan have of course been very happy to hear about this cover happening in their hometown and immediately reposted this honor from their pop punk heroes all over their social media channels.

Check out the short snippet of this Blink-182 cover of a Simple Plan song below:
