Simple Plan extend their stay on Warped Tour!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 8. July 2011 | 2 comments

Simple Plan are apparently having loads of fun on this years Warped Tour in the US – and like I wrote earlier, they are getting great responses! Few days ago even one guy proposed to his girlfriend on stage during the Simple Plan set. And she said yes :)

Anyway, the most important news to all the fans who are going to this year’s Warped is the fact that Simple Plan surprisingly added 5 more dates , where they are about to perform – Columbia, Virginia Beach, Charlotte, Orlando and West Palm Beach! Therefore they are extending their stay on Warped Tour till the end of July! After that they are heading back home to relax a bit before they continue the tour in Asia, and then they are getting back to Europe :)

Simple Plan back on Warped Tour!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 25. June 2011 | no comments

The famous Vans’ Warped Tour, an American festival-kind-of-tour which brings about one hundred punk-rock, pop-rock, punk, rock and other bands on stages across the whole US every summer, has after many years welcomed back the Canadian band Simple Plan, who are definitely no newbies on this tour.

Back when Reset was around (Pierre’s and Chuck’s (and later David’s) first band) the guys were invited to play on Warped Tour and kept performing there even with their next band: Simple Plan. They haven’t missed a single tour from 1999 to 2005. After that they went on a little break surring summers: wrote music or played festivals/tours on other places in the world. But this year they are back on the American ground ready to rock Vans’ Warped Tour 2011 and keep rocking it almost till the end of July.

Simple Plan started off the tour with their kick-ass show in Dallas, Texas, where they performed the following setlist:

1. Shut Up!
2. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
3. I Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas cover)
4. Jump
5. Thank You
6. Welcome To My Life
7. Loser Of The Year
8. Addicted
9. I’d Do Anything

It’s pretty clear why Simple Plan haven’t added any songs from their third album on the setlist and focused more on the songs from the first and the second album, plus adding some from Get Your Heart On! The reason is that Simple Plan’s self-titled record didn’t reach (by far) the success the previous records have and the promotion of this album in the States was very minimal. But now, with a new record on the horizon, the guys are trying to avoid making the same mistakes as last time and pay more attention to their US fans.

You can already check out the first pictures from the show in Dallas in the gallery:

And below you can check out a pretty cool video of Simple Plan’s performance of one of their new songs from Get Your Heart On! – Loser Of The Year, which they introduced to Dallas yesterday:

Local release dates of the new album: Belgium, Netherlands and more!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 19. March 2011 | 3 comments


Even though the official release date of the new record has been announced as June 21st, that doesn’t mean it will come out in every country on this exact date. The release dates depend locally on many factors: such as shipping and other stuff. You may remember that the third Simple Plan album was released in many countries even before the official release date (e.g. in the Czech Republic it was 1 day before).

But let’s get back to the upcoming Simple Plan album. Thanks to Gwen and Nath we’ve received an information that in Belgium and in the Netherlands the yet-untitled fourth SP record should hit the CD stores already on June 17th.

So far these are the only local release dates we’ve been informed about, but I’ll make sure to update you about more as soon as we get more info!

Also, if YOU already know when the new Simple Plan record comes out in your country, let us know!

Update:

Thanks to Clare for letting us know that in the United Kingdom the SP record comes out on June 20th! (source: Kerrang). Thanks to Vanessa the local release date for Germany should be June 17th.

Updated scheme of the countries and their local release dates of the new Simple Plan album:

Country Local release date
(official release date) June 21st
Belgium June 17th
Germany June 17th
Netherlands June 17th
Czech Republic June 20th
United Kingdom June 20th
USA June 21st
Canada June 21st

Simple Plan on Warped Tour 2011!!!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 12. January 2011 | 4 comments

The guys have kept their promise and the first bunch of new Simple Plan tourdates is out! Because in the past few years Simple Plan have been neglecting their US fans, it was obvious that the first concerts had to be played right there – particularly this June and July on Warped Tour 2011, along with bands like Enter Shikari or Every Avenue.

But the rest of you, dear world, don’t have to worry: the guys promised in their latest official post that they will be releasing more tourdates as soon as possible!

We are really excited to get back on tour and to announce the first SP tour dates of 2011! We can’t wait to do Warped Tour again and hang out with our fans this summer. It was really important to us to announce some US tour dates right away because we know we’ve neglected our awesome US fans on the last album. We know we’re not hitting every state and that some of you might be a little bummed, but we promise things will be different this time around and we will be playing tons of shows all over the country in the months to come. Please be patient…this is just the beginning.

For all our other fans around the world, don’t worry if you don’t see your country / city on this first batch of dates. We are planning to tour all over the world and play tons of shows when the new record comes out. We will come see you very soon and will announce more shows as soon as we can. Thank you so much for being so patient. We can’t wait to play you our new songs.

See you at the shows!
Pierre, Chuck, Jeff, David and Seb
