Today at the show in Oslo, Norway, Simple Plan will be saying goodbye to their opening bands The Bottom Line and ROAM, who will not be continuing to support them for the four final dates.
The news regarding Simple Plan’s choice for their opening act for the remaining dates of this second leg of their European TOFTT tour [for which any European band could have applied for] was finally revealed today. In Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Simple Plan will be supported by the Finnish pop-rock band ‘Blind Channel’ – you can find out more about this band on their Facebook page.
Interestingly enough, Blind Channel were also named as one of the favorite local bands of MadCraft, who are the other opening act, who’s been already previously chosen, to support Simple Plan in Finland, now alongside Blind Channel. Madcraft have actually also recently released a blog, announcing their supporting gig for Simple Plan, expressing their excitement about this opportunity:
“Holy sh*t! That is pretty much the way we felt when we got the word that we would be opening for Simple Plan. This Canadian 5-piece is probably one of the favorite bands of any Pop Punk fan. Obviously, we are huge fans of Simple Plan as well.”
It is still not clear whether MadCraft are also supporting Simple Plan in the Baltic states.
