Unfortunately, the cancelation news just keep on giving. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organizers of the Canadian festival FestiVoix, which was supposed to take place in Trois-Rivières, QC from June to July, had to make the tough decision earlier this month to cancel the entire festival out of concerns for the safety and health of all visitors as well as bands and crew. You can read the organizer’s full statement (in French) here.
Simple Plan were supposed to perform at this festival on July 4th. The organizers are currently trying their best to book as many acts of the original 2020 festival line-up to appear on next year’s edition of Festivoix (June 25th to July 4th). It is currently unknown whether Simple Plan will be attending the post-poned dates. Ticket holders have the option to either keep their tickets, which will remain vailed for the 2021 Festivoix or request a refund.
As of right now, the band only has one scheduled appearance in the future that has not been canceled yet – that being the Rock The Park festival in London, ON, Canada on July 16th alongside Blink-182. According to the latest news, the organizers are monitoring the current situation but so far are planning to go ahead with the festival. If anything changes, we will let you know.
