The Czech news website denik.cz published an article today about the upcoming Simple Plan appearance at the Aerodrome Festival in Prague, Czech Republic, which will take place on June 11th, and where Simple Plan will perform alongside Mallory Knox, Machine Gun Kelly, Enter Shikari, Royal Republic, the main headliners Linkin Park and one more band, which will be revealed in the middle of April.
In the article, Deník also briefly quotes an interview with Chuck Comeau about the Aerodrome Festival. Chuck discussed what sorts of events Simple Plan usually perform at and why it is important to them to also perform at festivals besides their own headlining shows:
“We often play in punk-rock clubs, bigger venues and even outdoors. What’s interesting about festivals is that you will find music fans there who might have never heard your music before. And that makes us work even harder to convince them that they are in the right place.”

Chuck also mentioned his excitement about seeing his band perform alongside Linkin Park in June:
“We’re really happy to be sharing the stage with them. Even though their music is a bit different from ours, we believe that the visitors of the festival will enjoy both us and them.”

An interview about Aerodrome Festival with a member of Simple Plan also aired at the biggest Czech commercial radio station – Evropa 2 – on Friday. The interview featured Jeff and apparently he had some very nice things to say about SimplePlan.cz during this interview. I’m still trying to get my hands on the actual interview – will post it once I receive it.
