Simple Plan used yesterday’s unique leap day to wrap up their so far most well worked-out tour when it comes to production they have ever done – most probably because they were back home in Canada for the first time in months.
It was the first tour on which Simple Plan used a projection in a big way on every single concert – first to demonstrate a special intro video which showed their fans what Plan! does before hitting the stage, and then also as a background during songs they played live – for example during Astronaut or This Song Saved My Life (the latter projection showing photos directly taken by Simple Plan fans). The guys also introduced a brand new party medley of covers (featuring Moves Like Jagger, Dynamite and Sexy And I Know It) and some of them revelaed more of themselves than some fans probably even hoped for. Then during Summer Paradise, the band surprised its fans with a pile of beach balloons which were dropped on the crowd from above, and then with red and white confetti shooting from every direction during the final Perfect.
When it comes to the opening bands, Simple Plan couldn’t have made a better choice. The Canadians These Kids Wear Crowns kicked the shows off with their catchy and upbeat tracks, then All Time Low put on very dirrrty show filled with their hits, jokes and innuendos and finally before the headliner hit the stage, another Canadian band – Marianas Trench – showed the crowd a little bit more of theatricality. TKWC said their goodbyes to the GYHO tour a few days before it’s end and the tour continued with the golden trio, consisting od: SP, ATL and MT. These three bands decided to celebrate their final show in Shawinigan, Canada, yesterday with a final afterparty, from which some of the guys from the opening acts published a few pictures. Also, Pierre appeared on a few photos that were posted by All Time Low’s crew on Twitter, after they went to play some hockey in Chicoutimi:
