AUTHOR: Dominika | 23. June 2024 | no comments

Simple Plan are currently in Europe, where they kicked off their traditional summer “festival” tour on Friday during which they will become for some shows the opening act for their Canadian colleague Avril Lavigne. Simple Plan have been linked to Avril Lavigne ever since their early beginnings as she took them as a fairly unknown band as an opening band on their very first bigger tour (2002-2003).

After the Friday performance at the German Full Force festival, Simple Plan traveled to the North of Germany, where they had an afternoon slot at the Hurricane Festival. This is where they also met up with Avril Lavigne for the first time in Europe this year, who was the headliner of that evening.

During her show, the attendees of this festival had the chance to witness a lovely moment when during the second half of her setlist, Avril invited Pierre Bouvier from Simple Plan on stage and sang ‘Addicted’ together. Check out the full performance on the video below:

Even after the announcement of their European “Hard As Rock tour” with State Champs and Mayday Parade in the beginning of 2024, Simple Plan still don’t seem to be over with the old continent just yet.

The band has recently appeared on the line-up of two German festivals for the summer of 2023 – Southside Festival and Hurricane Festival (both of which take place between 21st and 23rd June), giving the European fans even more of a chance to see them live next year.

And as per usual, it still might not be the only two places they will hit in the summer. Let’s wait and see!

Till then, make sure to grab tickets for the January/February European tour, which is selling out by the minutes. Check out the full list of upcoming tourdates alongside information on whch shows are already sold-out in our Tour section.

Simple Plan’s setlist for European tour revealed

Last night, Simple Plan and Sum 41 kicked off their fall European tour in Stuttgart, Germany and therefore revealed what might be in store for the fans for the rest of the tour.

As far as the setlist goes, being the opening band on this tour, Simple Plan performed 14 songs in total and overall decided to mostly focus on their most known hits and therefore their new album ‘Harder Than It Looks’ is represented only by one song (‘Wake Me Up When This Nightmare’s Over’). And while the setlist might still slightly change throughout the tour, we can be sure that it will more or less probably look like this.

Check it out below:

  1. I’d Do Anything
  2. Shut Up!
  3. Jump
  4. Jet Lag
  5. Your Love Is a Lie
  6. Welcome to My Life
  7. Summer Paradise
  8. Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)
  9. Addicted
  10. All Star / Sk8er Boi / Mr. Brightside (covers)
  11. What’s New Scooby Doo
  12. Where I Belong
  13. I’m Just a Kid
  14. Perfect

Silverstein singer tells a Red Light District story from touring with Simple Plan

AUTHOR: Dominika | 10. March 2018 | 1 comment

Eyes Closed Blog recently interviewed Shane Told, the lead singer from the Canadian band Silverstein, who still reminisces about the 2006 European tour Simple Plan, where Silverstein opened for SP. In the interview Shane revealed a story about the two bands hanging out after the show in Hamburg, Germany, and how they once decided to hit the infamous local Red Light District.

Check out Shane’s story below:

“I remember it like it was yesterday – one of my favorite tours ever. […] I just think… those guys, you know, we’re a bunch of Canadians hanging out in Europe. And these shows were crazy big and those guys just love to have fun, you know?

And I remember when we were in Hamburg specifically… you know, Hamburg’s known for the Red Light District. And there’s this one particular Burger King restaurant that’s like in the Reeperbahn, where all the like prostitutes hang out. And they were telling us about this Burger King and I was like ‘Oh, that’s crazy, that’s so weird!’ And David from Simple Plan was like: ‘We gotta go! We gotta go check it out!’ and I’m like: ‘Really? Alright!’ So we just went there, just to go look at the Red Light District and the… hookers.

So there you go. That’s what we did after you saw our bands, we went and… we didn’t buy any hookers or anything – let’s not get mixed up here. We were just… window-shopping.”

– Shane Told (Silverstein) –
