VIDEO: Simple Plan performing in Los Angeles

Before Simple Plan head back to Australia, where they are set to perform at the Good Things Festival in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well as at two more side-shows in Gold Coast and Adelaide, let’s have a little look back at their last moments in the U.S.

One of the most anticipated shows of the U.S. tour with State Champs, as always, was the one in Los Angeles, since it’s where two of the band members (Pierre and Chuck) reside as well as their families and many of their friends as well. The guest list was packed and fans were able to see many familiar faces watching their set, including Avril Lavigne, Frank Borin or Machine Gun Kelly.
