Back in December 2019, Simple Plan paid a visit to their fans in Australia, where they performed at multiple dated of the local Good Things Festival as well as at a few of their headlining shows.
Now, the boys decided to dig up some of the backstage footage from this trip to cheer up their fans in these hard times. Check out what the guys have been up to in Australia – from shows to bonding with the Australian wildlife:
The main reason for Simple Plan to travel all the way to Australia this December was their invitation to the Good Things Festival, where they band performed for the very first time alongside acts such as Simple Creatures, Bad Religion, The Veronicas, A Day To Remember or Parkway Drive.
This three-day festival brought all the bands to three of some of the biggest cities in Australia: Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane over the course of this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Fans from all over Australia and further have gathered to witness their favorite bands to play at one festival and they were in for quite a treat.
Now, let’s have a look at what Simple Plan’s set looked like, shall we? The boys decided to keep it simple and given the fact that they only had an hour, decided to play 14 of their songs with an additional cover of Oasis’ ‘Wonderwall’, which was added as an extra song before the final song on the last two days of the festival (Sydney and Brisbane). Besides this surprising addition to the setlist, the boys also had one more treat up their sleeve: a special live collaboration on Jet Lag with Erin Reus from the Australian band Stateside.
Check out the full setlist below:
But enough talk, let’s watch! Check out Pierre performing ‘Wonderwall’ at Good Things Festival, Simple Plan performing ‘Jet Lag’ with Erin Reus from Stateside below and a short video recap of the set in Melbourne below:

This December, Simple Plan will be embarking on a long journey back to Down Under, where they are scheduled to appear at this year’s edition of the Good Things Festival alongside bands like Enter Shikari, Parkway Drive or A Day To Remember.
Rumors have been going around for quite some time now, whether some of the bands would be prolonging their stay in Australia by playing a couple of sideshows besides the Good Things Festival. And the good news came in just last night when it was officially announced that some of the bands on the festival’s bill will truly be playing a number of shows around Australia in December.
Simple Plan will be appearing at two more shows besides the three dates of the festival (Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane) and these sideshows will take place in Gold Coast (December 10th) and Adelaide (December 12th). The guys will be playing in quite intimate venues (Gold Coast’s CBD Live fits only 1300 people while Adelaide’s HQ is fit for 2200), so chances are these shows will sell out quick.
