Tonight was Simple Plan’s second gig in Melbourne – another sold-out show in the Prince Bandroom venue. And while uptil now, Simple Plan’s setlist haven’t been changing much – usually with just two songs, being switched every other show, tonight the band decided to go all out and introduce a few more new songs to the Australian crowd!
If you manage to stumple upon a photo of the Melbourne show setlist, you might get the idea that the band performed 19 songs as usual – but that was not the case, as the band did in fact play 20 songs in total. Whether it was a planned surprise, or a spur of the moment decision, Simple Plan decided to bring back the old-school classic ‘Addicted’ to the setlist – right after ‘Take My Hand’ (which appeared on the setlist tonight instead of ‘Your Love Is A Lie’) and right before ‘The Rest Of Us’ which finally got re-added to the setlist as well – sadly for the fans of ‘Singing In The Rain’, which was not played on Melbourne show #2. The guys also switched to ‘I Refuse’ instead of ‘Farewell’.

There is just one last Australian show left for Simple Plan – Melbourne show #3 (which has officially also sold-out today!). But all you Australians don’t have to be sad [sad, sad no more]! According to Chuck, the band is already planning its return to Australia for next year! And what’s even better is that this time around they want to do a full tour across the whole continent, which should bring hope mostly to the residents of the western part of Australia, which they skipped on this first Australian run this year.
So far, Simple Plan’s plans for 2017 include Europe and Australia. What else? We’ll have to wait and see.
