The Czech online magazine called Headliner’s May issue features an interview<\/a> with Simple Plan’s drummer Chuck Comeau. In the interview, Chuck discussed Simple Plan’s current NPNHJB tour, which celebrates their debut album’s 15th anniversary. And while there are still plans to prolong this anniversary tour, according to Chuck’s most recent words, the band also still wants to continue with their Taking One For The Team tour after the No Pads tour<\/b> (which he still plans for the end of this year):<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t manage to tour a lot with the fifth record yet, even though we\u2019ve been touring pretty much non-stop except for a couple months at the end of last year. Now we decided to include the anniversary tour and after that we still want to head out on another Taking One For The Team tour. We think we owe it to that record.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Of course after the tour cycle ends (whenever that is), the band is certain about one thing: they don’t want their fans to wait another 4 years for a new record. See what Chuck had to say about a possible 6th album’s release date:<\/p>\n

“After we finish the cycle for our current record, which will be around the end of this year, the time will come for the creative process to begin. We would like to start working on new material in the beginning of the next year release the album as soon as possible. One thing is clear: we don\u2019t want to take too much time in between records, so we would like the next album to be released about two years after the last one came out. “<\/i><\/p>\n

Now if our calculations are correct, if Simple Plan want to release the record 2 years after the last one came out<\/b> (February 2016), that would make their goals aim for the next year, 2018<\/b>. <\/p>\n

In theory, that could be managable, but we know how good SP are with meeting deadlines and taking months to both write, record and also post-produce and promote new albums. I think we’ll all agree that we would like the next SP record to be released sooner rather than later, but let’s just take the year ‘2018’ as more of a fluid objective or a wishful thinking, than a fixed point in time. Especially if we already know the band plans to only focus on touring in 2017.<\/p>\n
