Simple Plan announced for more festivals in 2023 – plans include Europe, Asia and the U.S!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 25. November 2022 | no comments

Hold on to your hats, Simple Plan fans! 2023 will be a big touring year for the band! Let’s have a recap of all we know so far and also reveal some of the new additions to the tour plan!

First of all, the band will be stopping by in Asia early next year – it has been announced that they will be part of the Everblast Festival line-up, which will take place from March 4th to 5th in Jakarta, Indonesia. Besides Simple Plan, fans will also get to see acts like Hoobastank or The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. You can check out more info about the festival here. Given how far Asia is, it is very likely that this won’t be SP’s only stop on the continent. We’ll keep you posted once we know more!

Now let’s move on to the summer – that part of the year will (at least partly) belong to Europe! After already announcing their appearance at the Nova Rock festival in Austria (June 7th 2023), Simple Plan have just been also added to the line-up of next year’s Download Festival in the UK (June 8th 2023) and they will also appear at the first ever Slam Dunk Festival in Italy (June 2nd 2023) and France (June 3rd 2023).

And so far, it looks like the end of the year will all about the U.S. again, since Simple Plan are scheduled for at least one show there so far – the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas (October 21st 2023). Unfortunately, tickets to this festival are already sold-out.

Simple Plan to return to Europe next summer for festival season: Nova Rock confirmed!

Even though it has only been a few days since Simple Plan have left Europe, it has now been confirmed that they will be returning to the old continent again next summer for the festival season!

The Austrian Nova Rock Festival has just updated their line-up for 2023 and Simple Plan will be there on the first day (Wednesday, June 7th) alongside Slipknot, Asking Alexandria or Disturbed. This is good news because more than likely we can expect more European festivals to have them on their line-up around that time too.

Simple Plan change up setlist in Bordeaux and Bilbao – add Iconic!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 25. September 2022 | no comments

Simple Plan are currently on tour in Europe supporting Sum 41 and after the first show’s setlist was revealed, some fans felt a little let down over the amount of songs from SP’s new album ‘Harder Than It Looks’, as the original setlist for the first few shows included only one song from this record – ‘Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)’.

Of course, given the status of an opening band, it’s understandable that the band only has a fairly limited time to perform, but even so, they still try to fit in as many hits as possible on the setlist.

As we’ve mentioned in the previous article, though, there was a strong possibility the band would switch things up during the tour, so that every show would not be as predictable, as exactly that happened in Bordeaux, France and Bilbao, Spain. According to the fans from both of these shows, Simple Plan switched ‘Wake Me Up’ for another HTIL song – ‘Iconic’. Also, they had to cut the setlist by one song and did not perform ‘What’s New Scooby Doo’ – this might again change at future shows though.

Check out the full setlist from Bordeaux below:

  1. I’d Do Anything
  2. Shut Up!
  3. Jump
  4. Jet Lag (French version)
  5. Your Love Is a Lie
  6. Addicted
  7. Welcome to My Life
  8. Iconic
  9. Summer Paradise
  10. All Star / Sk8er Boi / Mr. Brightside
  11. Where I Belong
  12. I’m Just a Kid
  13. Perfect

Simple Plan’s setlist for European tour revealed

AUTHOR: Dominika | 21. September 2022 | no comments
Last night, Simple Plan and Sum 41 kicked off their fall European tour in Stuttgart, Germany and therefore revealed what might be in store for the fans for the rest of the tour.

As far as the setlist goes, being the opening band on this tour, Simple Plan performed 14 songs in total and overall decided to mostly focus on their most known hits and therefore their new album ‘Harder Than It Looks’ is represented only by one song (‘Wake Me Up When This Nightmare’s Over’). And while the setlist might still slightly change throughout the tour, we can be sure that it will more or less probably look like this.

Check it out below:

  1. I’d Do Anything
  2. Shut Up!
  3. Jump
  4. Jet Lag
  5. Your Love Is a Lie
  6. Welcome to My Life
  7. Summer Paradise
  8. Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)
  9. Addicted
  10. All Star / Sk8er Boi / Mr. Brightside (covers)
  11. What’s New Scooby Doo
  12. Where I Belong
  13. I’m Just a Kid
  14. Perfect
