Sao Paulo: Chuck’s new drumkit design & sign surprise & on-stage marriage proposal

by Dominika | May 28th, 2018 | no comments

Simple Plan’s tour across Brazil continues and last night the band dropped by the city of Sao Paulo, where they were looking forward to greeting all 3000 fans who have managed to sell out the Audio venue.

And they were in for a night full of surprises! Firstly, some fans might have noticed that Chuck didn’t use his regular No Pads transparent bass drum head, but instead kicked the show off with a new simple ‘SP’ on a black background [see the picture above] on his bass drum head (thanks Bruno for the info). Will he keep it for the rest of the tour? We’ll see!

As far as the show itself concerns, the fans surprised the band with a bunch of ‘David is here’ signs during Addicted to show their support of the band’s bass player, who currently remains home, where he’s doing his best at battling depression.

And finally, during the intermission between Boom! and Jet Lag in the encore part of the concert, Pierre invited a fan on stage, who got on his knee to propose to his girlfriend. Surrounded by loud emotional cheers and applause, the couple became another pair, who got engaged on a Simple Plan stage. Check out the cute moment on the video captured by SP:BR below:

After these exhausting three shows in Brazil, the members of Simple Plan can now rest for two days before their next gig, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday. In the meantime, check out all of the new pictures from last night’s show in Sao Paulo, Brazil:

First two No Pads shows in Brazil: political chants & scheduling changes

by Dominika | May 27th, 2018 | no comments

Two days ago Simple Plan started their Brazilian tour in the city of Porto Alegre and continued with it last night in Curitiba, both located on the southern side of the country. Both shows were nearly sold out and fans seemed to have enjoyed their first look at the No Pads sets very much.

The setlist remained the same as in Argentina and seems like it will remain that way for the rest of the tour. As far as specifics goes, besides of many caipirinha jokes, there’s one little moment from Porto Alegre worth mentioning further. With the country currently being in a massive crisis – politically and socially, right before Perfect during the Porto Alegre show, many Brazilian fans in Curitiba began chanting against the current president of Brazil. Pierre obviously did not understand the Portuguese chants and replied (in Portuguese) “Thank you very much, Porto Alegre”), which of course resulted in a wave of laughter from the crowd, who’s politically-inspired chants have been misunderstood for cheering for Simple Plan [thanks Bruno for the info].

Besides that, the only change that seem to be exclusive to Brazil right now due to scheduling issues, is that the VIP post-game pizza parties now take place before the show (after SP Crew’s soundcheck). Only the Sao Paulo one might take place after since there is also a pre-game scheduled for that day.

Let’s have a look now at the atmosphere of last night’s show in Curitiba! Simple Plan posted a video taken during Crazy that will give you a glimpse of what a show in Brazil is like:

Simple Plan plead Brazilian fans to beware from buying fake merch

by Dominika | May 25th, 2018 | no comments

Simple Plan’s Brazilian tour kicks off today in Porto Alegre and thousands of fans from all over the country are expected to attend either this or 4 other shows in Brazil, which will take place in the upcoming days. With all these fans coming to see Simple Plan and probably wanting to keep something to commemorate the concert, it is expected that they will be interested in many of the merch items available at these shows.

However, bootleg sellers that can often be found in front of the venue selling unlicenced versions of Simple Plan merch, have become a big issue not only on the Brazilian concert scene, which is why Simple Plan decided to point it out in a new video. In it, the members of the band urge Brazilian fans to not purchase bootleg merch outside the venue, but visit their merch stand inside the venue. Only by purchasing items from the official Simple Plan merch booth inside the venue, you can support the band and be sure of its quality.

Check out the video below:

O SIMPLE PLAN chega no Brasil esta semana! . E a banda acaba de enviar um importante recado sobre o Merchandise Oficial que será vendido durante a "No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls: 15th Anniversary Tour”. .

Simple Plan’s South American tour kicks off today: David not to attend

by Dominika | May 22nd, 2018 | 2 comments

The final leg of Simple Plan’s 15th anniversary tour of their debut album No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls will kick off tonight, May 22nd, when the band walks up on stage in Buenos Aires, Argentina before leaving for a week-long tour in Brazil.

The members of Simple Plan are already present in Argentina since yesterday – some even managed to already get some tourist stuff done in the afternoon, such as Seb, who already published a bunch of pictures [check them out].

Unfortunately, just as we’ve expected, the local fans will once again get to see Simple Plan only as a quartet, as their bass player David Desrosiers is still absent from touring due to his on-going battle with depression. The band will very likely discuss his absence on stage, as they’ve done frequently on all the shows during the past year.

What can we expect from this tour?

But even without David, Simple Plan have proved over the last year that they are more than capable of running a fantastic show even with this little handicap. As far as bass goes – sometimes David’s pre-recorded tracks are be used and sometimes Chady will be there to lend a hand on the bass guitar during some parts of the shows.

Fans who will be attending the shows are surely also curious about the setlist. Given that the shows have rarely changed over the course of the past year, we are fairly sure about the following setlist to be used – as always, Simple Plan will be playing their first album NPNHJB in its entirety, followed by a “best of” encore of songs from their other records. Check it out below:

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. Your Love Is A Lie
18. Jet Lag
19. Summer Paradise
20. Crazy
21. Welcome To My Life

But most of all, this will be the very last opportunity for the fans to see this special anniversary show as these will be the last shows SP will be performing it at. Simple Plan have exactly 6 upcoming No Pads shows planned for South America – one in Argentina (Buenos Aires) and 5 in Brazil (Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Sao Paulo, Rio De Janeiro and Uberlandia). Out of all of these, so far only Sao Paulo is sold-out. The remaining shows still have tickets available.

If you’re attending any of the upcoming shows and would like to help us with the updates – info, pictures etc. – hit us up on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) or send us an e-mail!

Let’s get touring again!
