Simple Plan announce more shows for 2024: Brazil sideshow, European festivals and another When We Were Young!

2024 is already shaping up to be quite the tour year for Simple Plan! As you all already know, the beginning of the year will be dedicated to their first headlining tour with Harder Than It Looks and they will be bringing it to Europe in January and February. After that, SP will finally make a grand return to Brazil in March, after which they will head over to Australia in April. And in June and July the guys will be back in Europe for the summer festival season.

Now, recently, Simple Plan announced a few more dates for 2024! So, let’s have a look at them.

First, Simple Plan added an I Wanna Be Tour sideshow in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as their Sao Paulo on March 1st, I Wanna Be Tour date a day later sold-out within just a few hours. This is a great way to see Simple Plan on their own smaller headlining show before the bigger festival type of gigs in Brazil with the I Wanna Be Tour, which comprises of multiple bands on the line-up.

Another additions on the 2024 tourlist are some new festival dates in Europe: Simple Plan added some dates in France, Netherlands and Italy, which means they will be staying in Europe at least until the beginning of July, meaning there will very likely be more European dates in the beginning of July.

And finally! The extremely successful When We Were Young festival will be repeated next year again and after this year’s excellent two shows, the SP boys will of course be back for the 2024 edition. While We Were Young will take place on October 19th (which has already sold-out) and also 20th in Las Vegas. Oh, and one more exciting bit: all bands present at the festival will be playing one chosen album in full – Simple Plan picked their debut album, No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls. Exciting!

Here’s a recap of the newly added dates:

1/MAR/2024 – I Wanna Be tour – Sao Paulo, Brazil

26/JUN/2024 – Festival de Nîmes – Nîmes, France 

28/JUN/2024 – Jera On Air Festival – Ysselsteyn, Netherlands 

07/JUL/2024 – I-Days – Milan, Italy 

19/OCT/2024 – When We Were Young – Las Vegas, NV, USA – SOLD-OUT

20/OCT/2024 – When We Were Young – Las Vegas, NV, USA 

Simple Plan to return to Europe for summer festival season!

Even after the announcement of their European “Hard As Rock tour” with State Champs and Mayday Parade in the beginning of 2024, Simple Plan still don’t seem to be over with the old continent just yet.

The band has recently appeared on the line-up of two German festivals for the summer of 2023 – Southside Festival and Hurricane Festival (both of which take place between 21st and 23rd June), giving the European fans even more of a chance to see them live next year.

And as per usual, it still might not be the only two places they will hit in the summer. Let’s wait and see!

Till then, make sure to grab tickets for the January/February European tour, which is selling out by the minutes. Check out the full list of upcoming tourdates alongside information on whch shows are already sold-out in our Tour section.

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

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:
