Simple Plan add Australian sideshows to Good Things Festival for this December!

by Dominika | Oct 28th, 2019 | no comments

This December, Simple Plan will be embarking on a long journey back to Down Under, where they are scheduled to appear at this year’s edition of the Good Things Festival alongside bands like Enter Shikari, Parkway Drive or A Day To Remember.

Rumors have been going around for quite some time now, whether some of the bands would be prolonging their stay in Australia by playing a couple of sideshows besides the Good Things Festival. And the good news came in just last night when it was officially announced that some of the bands on the festival’s bill will truly be playing a number of shows around Australia in December.

Simple Plan will be appearing at two more shows besides the three dates of the festival (Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane) and these sideshows will take place in Gold Coast (December 10th) and Adelaide (December 12th). The guys will be playing in quite intimate venues (Gold Coast’s CBD Live fits only 1300 people while Adelaide’s HQ is fit for 2200), so chances are these shows will sell out quick.

New photos of Chuck and Jeff’s DJ session in Melbourne

As we reported a couple weeks ago, while on their tour in Australia, Chuck and Jeff spent the evening after one of their Melbourne shows at the local club called PLASTIC, which invited them to do their own guest DJ session.

The evening was a big success with perhaps hundreds of people rocking out to some classic 90s and 00s alternative and emo songs, much like the “Emo nights” concept in the U.S.

The SimplePlan.cz gallery has now been updated with tons of new pictures from that night, where you can see Jeff and Chuck enjoying their guest DJ jobs for one night only. Have a look at them all by clicking on the thumbnails below:

Big recap of Simple Plan’s Australian tour

by Dominika | Apr 29th, 2018 | 1 comment

Over the past week, Simple Plan have been taking Australia by storm, playing six shows in five cities: Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle and Sydney. Melbourne was the only city that got to experience Simple Plan twice during this tour as due to enormous demand, the fans managed to immediately sell out the first announced show, making Simple Plan to add a second show, which got sold out soon after. Another sold out show of this tour was Sydney.

Many fans gathered to witness this special once-in-a-lifetime 15th anniversary No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls tour and they were in for some great shows. For this tour, after Real Friends had to cancel their appearance on this tour, Simple Plan chose the Australian bands Eat Your Heart Out and Stateside as supporting acts.

Simple Plan’s setlist was very reliable as every night the band decided not to change any of their songs and delivered this classic version of their No Pads setlist:

1. I’d Do Anything
2. The Worst Day Ever
3. You Don’t Mean Anything
4. I’m Just A Kid
5. When I’m With You
6. Meet You There
7. Addicted
8. My Alien
9. God Must Hate Me
10. I Won’t Be There
11. One Day
12. Grow Up
13. Perfect

Encore:
14. Shut Up!
15. Jump
16. Boom
17. Jet Lag
18. Summer Paradise
19. Crazy
20. Welcome To My Life

There was one surprise, however, when on a couple of dates on this tour, Simple Plan invited Erin Reus, the lead singer of Stateside to join them as the female vocals in Jet Lag. This way, Erin has become another woman on the list of singers, who have over the years collaborated on this song. You can check out her appearance on stage in Melbourne below:

The guys had an amazing time in Australia and expressed many times over the past few days that they’ve had some of their favorite shows there. After the final show in Sydney, Simple Plan of course didn’t forget to take the final farewell group picture of themselves with the opening bands and the crew. Check it out below:
