\"\"Since I’m back from my two little stops at the Simple Plan tour, with my first-hand experience I have prepared a little bit more up-close review of them, than I usually post about when the boys play a show somewhere.<\/p>\n

Simple Plan arrived to the rainy Antwerp, Belgium<\/b> on Monday, the day before the show and had a couple hours to go through the city and enjoy some sights, which most of them took advantage of. On the day of the show, the boys headed to the venue a couple hours before the soundcheck (that started at 4pm). The open-air amphitheater venue, Openluchttheater<\/b>, was located in a beautiful park\/forest called Rivierenhof in Antwerp which created a gorgeous and romantic atmosphere. <\/p>\n

As usual, the SP soundheck was attended also by a number of fans, whom the boys played their new song “Boom” among other songs, and then mixed with the crowd and took pictures and hung out with their fans. At around 7pm I had my interview scheduled with Simple Plan [watch it here<\/a>!], which took place backstage. In the gallery, you can check out some of my pictures from the soundcheck and the meet&greet (also, thanks to Paula, Laura<\/i> and Jenna<\/i> for their pic with Chuck) and also my picture from the interview later that evening:<\/p>\n

The opening band The Overslept kicked off the night with their set around 8:30pm that night and played a couple of their songs, including a “Year 3000” cover, for about half an hour. After their show, the stage was slowly getting ready for the headlining act. Simple Plan hit the stage slightly after 9:30<\/b> and played their regular setlist that consisted of the following 17 songs:<\/p>\n

INTERESTING SCOOPS FROM THE SHOW:<\/b>
\n– during the show, Pierre let one fan, who’s eyes couldn’t take the brightness of the stage lights, watch the show from sidestage
\n– at one point of the show, when David usually goes up to Jeff to play bass next to him with their backs to each other, Jeff forgot and moved from his usual spot, which left David (and the crowd) confused and laughing
\n– it started raining right during the show, which made the “Perfect” at the end even more special<\/div>\n

And finally, the SimplePlan.cz gallery is now filled with many new pictures<\/b> from the show in Antwerp. Go check them out!<\/p>\n
