After more than half a year of not setting foot on a stage and also for the first time “out of the country” (if we don’t count the two countries SP members reside in – Canada and the U.S.) ever since COVID hit, the boys flew to Mexico at the end of last week to perform at one festival and three headlining shows. On Saturday, Simple Plan performed at the Tecato Pa’l Norte festival in Monterrey, Mexico and yesterday they finally did their own show in Mexico City (with Papa Roach and Emo Nite). On Wednesday, they will be performing in Guadalajara and Thursday is gonna be a great night for the SP fans in Puebla.
I’m sure many of you are already wondering what the setlist of these shows looks like. Simple Plan are mostly known to sticking to a certain structure of a setlist and only sometimes changing one or two songs. Already we have two setlists available – one from a festival and one from a headlining show. Given that distinction, it’s clear that the festival setlist had to be a bit shorter (15 songs), while the headlining show’s setlist got to be a little longer (17 songs). This longer setlist is what you can be looking at as a guide to what the remaining two shows of the tour may look like.
Below you can check out the full setlist from the headlining show in Mexico City from April 4th. The only difference between this setlist and the festival one was the addition of ‘Take My Hand’ and ‘Where I Belong’:
At the Tecato Pa’l Norte festival in Monterrey, Simple Plan debuted with the first ever official live performance of ‘The Antidote’. Make sure to check out the video below to see what this performance of SP’s first single off their upcoming album (Harder Than It Looks – comes out May 6th) looked like:
Simple Plan have just been announced to perform at yet another Canadian festival over this summer. During their short July “break” from the Blame Canada tour with Sum 41, Simple Plan will now also play at the H2O le festival in the city of Amos in Quebec.
The festival takes place from 14th to 17th July – the actual date of the Simple Plan concert however is still yet to be announced.
You can find out more info on the festival’s website.

Just a couple weeks ago something totally unimaginable – now a reality! That’s what the newly announced co-headlining Simple Plan x Sum 41 tour across the United States is.
After announcing the Deryck Whibley featuring on the new Simple Plan single ‘Ruin My Life’, the two Canadian bands decided to make their U.S. fans very happy and finally return after many previous covid-related cancelations. The first part of the ‘Blame Canada’ tour will begin on April 29th in Raleigh, NC and will finish on May 27th in New Orleans, LA. The bands will then take a little breather in June and July (where they already have some festival obligations) and then get back to touring together for part 2 of their tour from July 29 in Tulsa, OK all the way to Denver, CO on August 18th.
The tour will celebrate the 20th anniversary of both bands’ debut albums – Sum 41’s album ‘All Killer No Filler’ (2001) and Simple Plan’s debut ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’ (2002).
As part of the upcoming tour, $1 of each ticket sold will help raise funds for the Simple Plan Foundation and Sweet Relief’s Covid-19 Fund. Since 2005 the Simple Plan Foundation has donated over $2M to various charitable causes in Canada to help young people in need. In 2020, Sweet Relief started the Covid-19 Fund to provide emergency financial assistance to music industry professionals who have been devastated by the pandemic.
Tickets and VIP packages officially go on sale Friday, February 25th at 10am local time. Pre-sale begins today here until February 24th at 10pm using the code JUSTAKID.

Mexican fans can rejoice even more! After it was announced a couple months ago that Simple Plan would be performing at a festival in Monterrey, Mexico, the word has now spread from the Mexican concert info Instagram @ocesa, that Simple Plan will in fact also be playing two other headlining shows: one in Mexico City and one in Puebla.
The first show will take place in Mexico City, the country’s capital, on April 4th. Simple Plan will play at the PEPSI Centre what seems to be a co-headlining show with Papa Roach. The fans might also enjoy the opening act, which will be Emo Nite.
The second show in Puebla will take place at the Auditorio GNP Seguros on April 7th.
Pre-sale of the tickets for both of these shows starts on January 24th. Big thanks to Karen for letting us know about these dates.
