Can/U.S. tour announcement confirmed for Monday with a new photoshoot + possible opening band

Yesterday we brought the news that Simple Plan would be announcing their upcoming tour across Canada and the U.S. next week and today we finally have the confirmation that the tour announcement is in fact coming on Monday already!

Both Jeff and Simple Plan announced so on their Instagram and while Simple Plan are still playing guessing games with the fans what the announcement could be, Jeff is already happily posting about the fact that it’s a tour announcement regarding the U.S. and Canada. But at least Simple Plan accompanied the announcement of the Monday announcement with a cool new black & white photoshoot from Europe, taken by Chady. Check it out:

There may be something more than just tourdates to the Monday announcement, though. It’s fair to assume that along with that the band will also announce the opening band for this tour. And here’s where some simple maths and a little detective work come in: from the band’s behavior on social media in the past few days, where they’ve been paying a lot of attention to the Canadian band Story Untold (formerly known as Amasic), lead by singer Janick Thibault, it’s highly probable that their could be Simple Plan’s new opening band for this tour. Coincidentally, Story Untold also have a “huge tour announcement” for their fans coming up this Monday – and Simple Plan’s official Twitter have favorited their tweet announcing this. Let’s see what the official confirmation on Monday brings!

Below you can check out an excellent picture from the Canadian tour in 201 that features all the members of Simple Plan with the guys from their tour crew! See how many of the guys you can name:

Also, besides the tour/film crew photo, I added the “jumping” photo from the same day – that is featured in the Simple Plan book – in a higher quality – see it here:

Check out this awesome video that one of Simple Plan’s tour photo/videographers – Chady Awad – made from his recordings from the Canadian tour that took place in early 2012 (thx SPB.com for the info). In the video you will be able to check out how a Simple Plan show looks from a perspective that you would normally never be able to see:

Simple Plan’s management company – Coalition Entertainment – has released a new video, as a part of their educational program Coalition Education, in which you can watch what the whole set-up, soundcheck, production and the final set-down of Simple Plan’s stage on their Canadian “Get Your Heart On!” tour in February 2012 looked like.

It is fair to mention, that this Simple Plan’s tour in Canada has been under the most production and if you’re going to any of their upcoming shows, they do not look exactly like that. Take this as a bonus then – as what it takes to prepare the most elaborated Simple Plan shows:

Simple Plan used yesterday’s unique leap day to wrap up their so far most well worked-out tour when it comes to production they have ever done – most probably because they were back home in Canada for the first time in months.

It was the first tour on which Simple Plan used a projection in a big way on every single concert – first to demonstrate a special intro video which showed their fans what Plan! does before hitting the stage, and then also as a background during songs they played live – for example during Astronaut or This Song Saved My Life (the latter projection showing photos directly taken by Simple Plan fans). The guys also introduced a brand new party medley of covers (featuring Moves Like Jagger, Dynamite and Sexy And I Know It) and some of them revelaed more of themselves than some fans probably even hoped for. Then during Summer Paradise, the band surprised its fans with a pile of beach balloons which were dropped on the crowd from above, and then with red and white confetti shooting from every direction during the final Perfect.

When it comes to the opening bands, Simple Plan couldn’t have made a better choice. The Canadians These Kids Wear Crowns kicked the shows off with their catchy and upbeat tracks, then All Time Low put on very dirrrty show filled with their hits, jokes and innuendos and finally before the headliner hit the stage, another Canadian band – Marianas Trench – showed the crowd a little bit more of theatricality. TKWC said their goodbyes to the GYHO tour a few days before it’s end and the tour continued with the golden trio, consisting od: SP, ATL and MT. These three bands decided to celebrate their final show in Shawinigan, Canada, yesterday with a final afterparty, from which some of the guys from the opening acts published a few pictures. Also, Pierre appeared on a few photos that were posted by All Time Low’s crew on Twitter, after they went to play some hockey in Chicoutimi:
