For the 10th time in their history, Simple Plan are back at one of the most popular alternative scene festival tour – Warped Tour – this time again in the U.S.! And because the boys can only make it to four dates of the tour, they sure as hell plan to enjoy it a lot.
Their first stop on Warped Tour was yesterday, July 19th in Holmdel, NJ. Here you can check out the setlist from this show:

And finally, here’s a couple of pictures from the backstage and from the show itself:
After the two initial Canadian shows of the new tour cycle, Simple Plan headed over the border to the United States to join Warped Tour for a couple days with their first show in Holmdel, NJ. Coincidentally this was also the date that actress Emma Kenney, who you may recognize as little Debbie Gallagher from the US version of the TV show ‘Shameless’, chose to attend. And of course Emma, who watched the SP set from the side-stage area, and Sebastien decided to take a picture together. Check it out in the gallery:
That’s right! Simple Plan are back on the road and soon will get to see all of you everywhere in the world. But for the start of their new tour cycle, the band chose their home country, Canada, as the place for their first two performances.
Simple Plan started their tour at the La Fete du Lac des Nations festival in Sherbrooke, QC on Friday, July 17th and continued the next day with a show at Ottawa Bluesfest in Ottawa, ON. Both of the shows were a major success. In fact, as Jeff noted, it’s amazing that just 10 years ago the band played for only 70 people in Sherbrooke, and this time around they headlined the whole La Fete du Lac festival. In the gallery you can check out a couple of pictures of the guys in the backstage and soundcheck at these two events. According to our fan Jennifer, the boys even did an autograph session in Ottawa:
The most important thing about these concerts though for many fans, was the setlist. While we don’t have the actual order of the songs the band played, Jennifer at least sent me the list of all the songs that have been played:

As you can see, for the first time ever, the band performed a regular – NOT acoustic version – of two of their newest songs – “The Rest Of Us” (which appeared on the bands latest release, their 2013 EP “Get Your Heart On – The Second Coming!”) and also “Boom” (which is to be featured on the band’s upcoming fifth album). Besides these new songs, Simple Plan also surprised with the addition of a regular live version of “Crazy” since that song has mostly been performed acoustically in the past. According to the attendees of La Fete du Lac, the band also mentioned that their new album should come out in October.
You can check out the performances of “The Rest Of Us” and “Boom” on the following videos from Ottawa Bluesfest:
And finally, the pictures from the shows at La Fete du Lac des Nations festival and Ottawa Bluesfest are also available in the gallery:
For two days now, the members of Simple Plan have been posing for hundreds of pictures, taken by Chapman Baehler, the photographer who was behind most of Simple Plan’s album cover photoshoots in the past.
In the gallery, you can now have a look at some more behind the scenes from the actual album cover photoshoot and see how dashing our boys looked:
Today was the day that the members of Simple Plan gathered on an undisclosed location in Montreal, Canada, to shoot the album cover photoshoot for their upcoming yet-untitled fifth studio album.
As you can see from the pictures, David even got himself a new haircut. Check out all of the behind the scenes pictures from today’s photoshoot the guys published on Instagram in the gallery:
