It has just been officially announced that Simple Plan would be taking part in this year’s edition of the Four Chord Music Festival at the Highmark Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA.
The festival is taking place on October 6th later this year and besides Simple Plan, the fans will also get to see the performances of an amazing line-up of bands such as The Offspring, Knuckle Punk, Patent Pending, Anberlin, Real Friends and many more.
Check out more information about the festival below:
Last week, on June 7th, the members of Simple Plan gathered in Toronto, Canada, where they were scheduled to appear (for one night only) as the main supporting act for Blink-182, with Neck Deep being the second opening band.
Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen personal situation, Simple Plan’s guitarist Seb Lefebvre wasn’t able to join his bandmates on this date. Instead, the band’s personal photographer and friend Chady Awad stepped in and helped the band out with his own guitar skills, making sure that the show would go on as planned. In their announcement of this unforeseen change of plans, Simple Plan promised on their Instagram that Seb would be back with them for their next show in Mountain View, CA.
But even despite this little setback however, Simple Plan still managed to rock their set, during which they performed 14 songs, properly warming up the crowd for the main act. Check out SP’s setlist for their opening gig for Blink in Toronto below:
1. I’d Do Anything
2. Shut Up
3. Jump
4. Addicted
5. Jet Lag
6. Your Love Is a Lie
7. Welcome to My Life
8. Boom!
9. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
10. Perfect World

According to some reports, over 60 000 people gathered in Atlantic City, NJ to witness the second of this year’s three special Warped Tour dates to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this legendary touring music festival.
During the first day of the Atlantic City Warped weekend, the festival got unfortunately caught in a thunderstorm and for a brief while, the attendees even had to be evacuated outside of the premises, which also meant that some of the bands’ set times had to be postponed and the sets shortened. In a great Warped Tour spirit however, the fans stuck with their favorite bands and enjoyed every bit of the day, filled with music and other fun activities that the organizers had prepared for them.
Amongst the bands that the attendees were able to check out that weekend were for instance Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Bad Religion, Bowling For Soup, A Day To Remember, We The Kings, Less Than Jake, The Offspring or, of course, Simple Plan.
Our favorite Canadians once again presented an incredibly well-received set, making tens of thousands of people in the attendance jump up and down to some of their biggest hits – and since We The Kings were on the bill too, SP couldn’t miss the opportunity to invite their good friend Travis Clark to come and join them during ‘I’m Just A Kid’. Check out Simple Plan’s full setlist from Atlantic City below:
1. I’d Do Anything
2. Jump
3. Addicted
4. Shut Up
5. Welcome To My Life
6. Boom!
7. I’m Just A Kid
8. Perfect
9. What’s New Scooby Doo
10. The Worst Day Ever
11. Summer Paradise
12. I’m Just a Kid
During the day, the members of Simple Plan took over Alternative Press’ Instagram and uploaded a number of behind the scenes Stories, which you can now check out in our compilation video below. Check out what the first day of Warped our in Atlantic City this year looked like from Simple Plan’s point of view:

On Wednesday, all five members of Simple Plan were ready to once again give it all they’ve got together on stage at the San Diego County Fair, where they were expected to perform that evening as that night’s headlining act at the fair, attracting a very big crowd to the stage all day.
Interestingly enough, as far as setlist goes, the band decided to switch things up quite a bit and offered the crowd a number of tracks that we don’t get to perform that often – including ‘What’s New Scooby-Doo?’, ‘The Rest Of Us’, ‘Me Against The World’ or ‘Untitled’.

Guess who’s back, back again, David’s back, tell a friend!
That’s right! Last night, the members of Simple Plan gathered at the first of three 25th anniversary Warped Tour installments in Cleveland, but this time around it wasn’t just the four of them. After battling depression, focusing on his own mental health and not touring for 2 whole years (ever since May 2017), David Desrosiers, Simple Plan’s bassist and backing vocalist, made a grand return on stage with his band right there yesterday at Warped Tour.
We’re sure you’re as excited as us to finally see him perform with SP, so here you can check out the full Warped Tour set of Simple Plan from last night in Cleveland, OH. Make sure to watch especially the beginning, where at mark 2:08 Pierre officially welcomed David back on stage:
[the video is missing the band performing the first song of the setlist – ‘I’d Do Anything’ – however you can watch it here at mark 5:52:15]
David’s bandmates also couldn’t contain their excitement of their friend being back on the road with them, so some of them took to their social media to express their feelings and properly welcome him back. Let’s have a look at what they wrote:
We are so happy to welcome back our friend and brother @daviddesrosiers on stage with us tonight in Cleveland after a 2 year hiatus. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
It’s been a long and difficult journey for David fighting depression and mental health issues and we are so thrilled to know he’s doing better and feels ready to join us again on the road.
We look forward to having him play with us at all our shows this summer and be a part of our new SP album.
David and the band would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to all our fans for the support you have shown him during his time away. Your messages of love and encouragement have meant so much and we can’t wait to play for you and share our new music. 🖤🖤🖤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Such a pleasure to have our brother David Desrosiers back with us after such a long absence! So happy to see you healthy and strong my man! It wasn’t the same without ya. #davidsback
– Pierre Bouvier –
Welcome back, David! 🙌🏻 Can’t wait to rock with you again tonight and every night!!
– Chuck Comeau –

Finally, we’d like to ask all the fans to keep being as respectful to David, as they’ve been so far for the past 2 years of his journey to recovery. Even though David is back on tour with Simple Plan, it doesn’t mean that we’ll see him take part in all other SP-related activities (interviews, events etc.). Let’s give David a proper welcome and ease up his return as much as we can. We’re ecstatic you’re back, David!
