Our long-time reader Maureen from BurningStars.net recently attended Warped Tour in Ventura, CA, where she not only got to interview Chuck, but also got to be in the photo pit for Simple Plan’s show.
Maureen was then very gracious and sent us her professional shots from the concert for our SimplePlan.cz gallery, so you can now check them out and take a look what the show looked like from the photographers’ point of view:
One and half week after the final Warped Tour has begun, Simple Plan already performed 6 sets in 6 different cities across the United States, generating great reviews both from the media and from the tour attendees alike.
And before Simple Plan kick off yet another show (today they are heading to Salt Lake City), we managed to gather some pictures from the past 6 shows for your viewing pleasure. But before we get to the concerts itself, here are some glamorous shots from behind the scenes of Warped. When not on stage, the guys from Simple Plan usually like to spend time with their families (like they did in California), enjoy the sunshine, hang out with and watch other bands, sign at their merch tent and also do some fun activities, including skateboarding and bike riding. Check out the backstage photos from Warped so far in this album:
But of course the Simple Plan sets are the main thing why the band is present on the final Warped Tour and every day, the guys like to make sure every person who comes to see them has the time of their lives. At the past few shows, including the two most recent ones in Phoenix, AZ and Las Vegas, NV for example, Simple Plan once again brought their friend Travis Clark from We The Kings on stage to help them sing ‘I’m Just A Kid’.
Check out the photos from the past 6 Simple Plan sets on Warped from Pomona, San Diego, Mountain View, Ventura, Phoenix and Las Vegas below:
In the past week, Simple Plan kicked off the final Warped Tour with four shows in California, which included stops in Pomona, San Diego, Mountain View and Ventura. The guys now combined the footage from all these shows and also threw in some shots from the behind the scenes of Warped Tour and released it all in a form of a recap video on their social media channels.
Have a look at what the final Warped Tour has been like so far this summer and what you may expect from the upcoming shows [Simple Plan will be on Warped all summer long – check out the tourdates here]:
Simple Plan’s latest album, the 5th full-length record on their discography entitled ‘Taking One For The Team’ (2016) just received its first (known) certification related to its sales.
According to this document [thanks SPB for the info], TOFTT has been recently awarded with the gold status in Russia, meaning it had reached over 10 000 sold copies on its market.
Other artists, who received the golden status for their records in Russia recently are Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera, Black Veil Brides or The Used.

More than 15 000 people attended the third show of Warped Tour this summer that took place in Mountain View, CA, which was the first show to be sold-out on this final cross-country tun of this traveling tour. And it’s not an overstatement when we say that the crowd was one of the reasons why the shows had such an amazing atmosphere that day – all eagerly joining in in singalongs, hand-waving and jumping as the bands rotated on stage.
The highlight of the Simple Plan set yesterday was definitely when during ‘I’m Just A Kid’, Chuck and Pierre switched places – Pierre went behind the drums, while Chuck crowdsurfed – and since the microphone had no owner at that point, Travis Clark from We The Kings stepped in and joined Simple Plan on stage to sing the chorus of ‘I’m Just A Kid’ [see photos from this show here].
