Simple Plan kick off Canadian TOFTT tour in London, ON

AUTHOR: Dominika | 12. March 2017 | 2 comments

Due to Pierre’s vocal issues, which forced the band to reschedule their Canadian tour from November to March, it took Simple Plan over a year since the release of their latest record Taking One For The Team, to actually do a proper tour with this album in Canada. But here they are!

After playing the first NPNHJB show in the U.S. on Friday, the guys headed back home to Canada, to London, ON in particular to start their Canadian tour. During this short TOFTT tour the band will visit 4 cities in total – London, Quebec City, Toronto and Montreal, before heading back to the U.S. to continue with the NPNHJB tour.

Last night the band took the stage in London, ON and performed the following setlist (update: Simple Plan apparently also added ‘I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed’ to the setlist even though it wasn’t featured on the printed setlist)

1. Opinion Overload
2. Jet Lag
3. Jump (‚I Gotta Feeling’ snippet)
4. I’d Do Anything
5. Boom
6. Welcome to My Life
7. Addicted
8. Your Love Is A Lie
9. Perfectly Perfect
10. I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed
11. Party medley – Uptown Funk (Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars cover) & Can’t Feel My Face (The Weeknd cover)
12. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
13. Summer Paradise
14. Farewell
15. Crazy
16. I’m Just a Kid

Encore:
17. Shut Up!
18. Perfect World
19. This Song Saved My Life (acoustic)
20. Perfect

Simple Plan announce opening bands for Canadian tour: Plain White T’s, Set It Off and Seaway

AUTHOR: Dominika | 16. January 2017 | no comments

Despite the earlier rumors of different possible opening bands for the Canadian tour, Simple Plan just officially announced the full line-up of this Taking One For The Team tour in their homeland. The band will be joined by the same bands as on the U.S. NPNHJB tour – Set If Off and Seaway – and to make this tour even more special, the guys will be bringing also their old friends Plain White T’s!

But read carefully – you won’t be able to see all four bands share one stage! While Set It Off will perform at each of the 4 tourdates, Seaway will perform only at the first date in London, Plain White T’s will then replace Seaway and perform in Quebec City, Toronto and Montreal.

SP and Plain White T’s have quite a long history together. Back in 2005, the bands toured together in the U.S., Pierre named his dog Delilah after one of PWT’s most popular songs ‘Hey There Delilah’, they also got to catch up a couple times over the years and most importantly, the lead singer of Plain White T’s Tom Higgenson co-wrote the song ‘Perfectly Perfect’ with Pierre and Chuck.

Will be get to hear Tom on stage with SP again in March and possibly sing ‘Perfectly Perfect’ together? We shall see!

PVRIS to support Simple Plan on Canadian tour in March

AUTHOR: Dominika | 19. December 2016 | no comments

Even though the rescheduling of Simple Plan’s Canadian tour to March may have come as a disappointment to some fans, because they wouldn’t get to see SP with the awesome line-up of All Time Low and PVRIS together, today’s news may brigten up their days again! That is because PVRIS may in fact be touring with Simple Plan “again”.

In the past few days, PVRIS’ name has been recently added on various websites in regards to the Simple Plan tour in Canada in March. The band’s name now appears alongside the dates for Montreal and Toronto on Ticketmaster [see here] and the date in London on TicketFly [see here].

At this moment, there is no mention of PVRIS when it comes to the last remaining date (Quebec City, March 13th 2017), however if PVRIS are touring with Simple Plan on the rest of the tour, it is very probable that they will join them on the Quebec City date as well.

As for now, neither of the bands have mentioned anything about PVRIS joining the Simple Plan tour, but it is possible the official announcement will be coming very shortly.

See all info about the upcoming Canadian tour below [once PVRIS are officially confirmed, I will add them as the support act]:

Concerts in Halifax and Ottawa will not be rescheduled to March tour

AUTHOR: Dominika | 17. December 2016 | no comments

About a month ago, Simple Plan were originally supposed to head out for their long-awaited tour across a number of cities in Canada, but due to Pierre’s vocal issues, the band was forced to reschedule some of the shows (London, Quebec City, Toronto and Montreal) to March 2017.

There were two more cities from the original November tour – Halifax and Ottawa that were still waiting for a confirmation about their rescheduling, however Simple Plan have now announced that they were unfortunately not able to find venues available around their Canadian March dates, which means they are forced the cancel these two shows in total. The fans will get a refund on their original November tickets.

Check out the full official statement from the band below:

We are extremely sorry that we haven’t be able to reschedule the Ottawa and Halifax shows and now have to cancel them. We tried very hard to find dates that would work in March, but it has proven to be impossible due to venues’ availability and our schedule. There’s nothing we hate more than disappointing our fans and this has been a very frustrating situation. We would like to apologize once again and let you know that we will do everything we can to come back and play for you as soon as possible. In the meantime, we hope that some of you can join us in Montreal, Quebec City or Toronto.

Thanks for understanding and looking forward to seeing you all very soon.

Pierre, Chuck, Sebastien, Jeff and David.

Refunds available at point of purchase.
