Now what’s so special about this tour is that this is in fact the very first solo headlining tour that Simple Plan have done for their new album Harder Than It Looks. Uptil now, since the release of the record they have only done co-headlining (with Sum 41 in the U.S.) or supporting tours (with Sum 41 in Europe and with The Offspring in Canada), meaning the shows weren’t focused on the new album and they weren’t as long as a headlining show would be.
After four full headlining shows played on this South East Asian tour (if we don’t count festivals), we can finally get a better look at what the Harder Than It Looks setlist looks like and what it could look like for possible other future shows. First things first, there is no one stable setlist for each concert, as SP try to switch things up with every show (kudos!). But overall the main structure remains the same – each of their album gets fairly the same amount of songs (3-5) with the exception of the self-titled one and TOFTT (only 1 each) and then there’s a few extra covers and a b-side song. The setlist tends to be 18 to 21 songs long, depending on each show.
