Simple Plan performed at Riot Fest for the first time since pandemic started & promised new music in a few weeks!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 20. September 2021 | 1 comment

It took over a year and a half, dozens of canceled shows and lots of nerves but finally, after all that the covid pandemic has brought, Simple Plan were finally able to once again step on the stage for the first time in forever – at Riot Fest in Chicago, IL yesterday, September 19th 2021.

Many fans have been wondering how come Simple Plan have canceled their appearance at the Pop Punk’s Still Not Dead tour with New Found Glory, yet they still decided to go ahead and perform at such a huge festival. The answer is simple – the danger of any of the crew contracting COVID-19 (and therefore endangering the cancelation of more dates) is way smaller at one outdoor festival than it would have been at a month-long tour, where they would have likely interacted with a lot more people in much smaller and enclosed spaces for a much longer time.

But let’s get going with the Riot Fest recap, yeah? The band kicked off their set at 5:30pm local Chicago time and what did the setlist looked like:

1. I’d Do Anything
2. Shut Up!
3. Jump
4. Addicted
5. Boom!
6. Your Love Is A Lie
7. Welcome To My Life
8. Jet Lag
9. Can’t Keep My Hands Off You
10. Crazy
11. Where I Belong
12. What’s New Scooby Doo?
13. I’m Just A Kid
14. Perfect

And do we have any first-hand scoops from the show? Of course we do! Our long-time reader May was there and she let us know that Pierre mentioned on the stage that the band will be releasing “new stuff in a few weeks” – turning the band’s “soon” into something slightly more concrete and less vague. According to May, Pierre did not specify whether that meant new song or new album, but we can definitely count on the word “music”.

In our gallery you can finally have a look at some of the first photos posted on Simple Plan’s official accounts from their appearance at Riot Fest:

First photo from the studio: Simple Plan began recording album #6 yesterday

AUTHOR: Dominika | 26. July 2019 | 1 comment

It’s official: yesterday, July 25th 2019, Simple Plan finally moved on from the song-writing stage and officially began the recording their 6th studio album.

Jeff Stinco confirmed this information on his Instagram yesterday, by posting a picture of him with some of his music equipment. As far as what studio SP decided to use for this recording session, we can only guess from Jeff’s geotagging of his studio picture, which says “North Hollywood, California”. Hopefully quite soon we should be getting some more information about where exactly the guys are recording their new album as well as with who.

You can check out the full picture Jeff posted in our gallery, where we’ve already dedicated a whole album to all future photo updates from the studio.

We’re really excited about all the upcoming updates: more info about the new music, more photos and hopefully the guys will get back into their old vlogging habits. Stay tuned!
