Recap of Simple Plan’s UK tour: band teases a possible European tour in the fall!

by Dominika | Feb 17th, 2020 | no comments

A week has gone by and by now, the members of Simple Plan have already packed their bags are headed back home across the big pond, after their 6-stop UK tour with Bowling For Soup, where they’ve visited Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, London and Brighton.

This pretty much sold-out tour (the only not sold-out date was Brighton) entitled ‘Together Again: You’re Welcome’ brought together old friends Bowling For Soup and Simple Plan on tour for the first time in almost 16 years. The result of it was a jam-packed night in every city they’ve visited and thousands of happy pop-punk fans.

Over the course of the tour, Simple Plan’s setlist has remained the same pretty much every night, besides Manchester, where Pierre apparently performed a cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’. The setlist was of course much shorter than Simple Plan’s regular show setlists, as they were the opening band on this tour:

1. I’d Do Anything
2. Jump
3. Welcome To My Life
4. Shut Up!
5. Boom!
6. Addicted
7. What’s New Scooby Doo?
8. Summer Paradise
9. Where I Belong
10. I’m Just A Kid
11. Perfect

The most important news that we can share with you from our attendance of the Simple Plan show in London, is that on stage Pierre mentioned that the band plans to return to Europe for a proper tour by the end of the year, hopefully around fall. For the dates however, we’re going to have to wait for a bit.

Until then, make sure to browse through the following albums in our gallery for some of the first photos from the Simple Plan/Bowling For Soup UK tour:

EXCLUSIVE: Bowling For Soup teased upcoming UK tour with Simple Plan next year on stage at Reading Festival

by Dominika | Aug 24th, 2019 | no comments

As of right now, Simple Plan’s main concern is to finish recording their 6th album in the studio, then head out on the co-headlining tour with State Champs in the U.S. and then at the end of the year or at the beginning of 2020 release the new record. But what will happen after? Obviously we can expect a tour after that. But where, when… and with who? And while none of these information have been officially confirmed by Simple Plan, we might actually already know answer to all three of these questions.

According to two of our separate sources, at their last night’s show at Reading Festival in the United Kingdom, Bowling For Soup, the legendary American pop-punk band announced to the crowd that they would in fact be coming back there to tour with Simple Plan in February.

Of course this statement brings us a lot of other questions: who will be headlining this tour? In the UK, it seems that Bowling For Soup tour rather constantly, in venues for 5000 people, which is not really the case for Simple Plan. This also ties with another question – will this possible tour be a UK tour or a full-on European one? Since given Bowling For Soup’s severe lack of touring in mainland Europe over the past decade, Simple Plan seems like a more possible headliner over here.

All that’s left for us is wait and see for Simple Plan and/or Bowling For Soup to officially announce this tour.

Would you be excited to see these two acts tour together again? And in Europe of all places? Let us know in the comments below!

UPDATE (August 27th)

According to some more unofficial information, this tour should be a Bowling For Soup headlining UK tour with Simple Plan and Not Ur Girlfriendz as opening acts and should be officially announced next week.

New on-stage photoshoot of Simple Plan from Europe

Spoiler alert: One of the highlights of the 15th anniversary No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls tour is undoubtedly the moment in Grow Up, when in the middle of the song, Pierre and Chuck switch their places: Pierre takes over the drums and Chuck jumps into the crowd.

In one of the latest photoshoots that were released from the recent European No Pads tour, Simple Plan kept their positions from this highlight and immortalised his moment on camera in a pretty funny way. Check it out in the full size in our gallery:

Simple Plan will also be bringing this tour to Canada, USA and Japan soon. Check out all the upcoming NPNHJB 15th anniversary tour dates here.
