Montreal welcomes back Simple Plan with final show of their Canadian tour

And here it is: after shows in London, Quebec City and Toronto, Simple Plan finally headed home to Montreal yesterday to perform their last Taking One For The Team show (for a while) at the Bell Centre to their hometown crowd. And it wasn’t just the fans who they were excited to see – because it was a hometown show, many of the band members’ families came to root for their boys – including their children – and also their old friends, such as Patrick Langlois.

Due to the very heavy snowstorm, which has stunned Montreal recently, some articles report there were only about 7700 attendees, who made it to the show (while the Bell Centre can hold up to 15 000 people for concerts). But if you were in the crowd on the spot, you’d be barely able to notice as the crowd filled up the whole arena. Overall, the fans’ reactions were more than positive, with some having seen their previous Canadian shows even stated that Simple Plan definitely saved their best for last.

The setlist of the show remained the same throughout the whole Canadian tour – the only big surprise in Montreal came in the form of confetti at the end of the show, when Simple Plan bowed out with their closer ‘Perfect’:

1. Opinion Overload
2. Jet Lag [French version]

4. I’d Do Anything
5. Boom
6. Welcome to My Life
