“We’re so happy to announce that we’re finally coming back to Australia in April 2024! The last time we played down under was way back in 2019 for the Good Things festival so it’s been way too long and we are way overdue for a visit in one of our absolute favorite places in the world,” the band said.

“We love this country and our Aussie fans so much and we couldn’t be more excited to have the chance to perform in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. We’re playing some amazing venues and we know these shows are gonna be heaps of fun!

“We’re also really thrilled to bring some incredible bands and artists with us. Joining the tour are the super talented Boys Like Girls and our great friends We The Kings! This tour line-up is stacked and we know these shows will be unforgettable.”

Simple Plan has been a pop culture mainstay for over two decades, from their rise to MTV superstardom in the new millennium to their continued relevance in the modern pop-punk resurgence. Through it all, they’ve remained dedicated to their fans, and that connection has never wavered.

Formed in Montreal in 1999, Simple Plan has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, achieved MTV superstardom, and bagged multiple awards. Their music has stood the test of time, with hits like I’m Just a Kid and Welcome to My Life. And let’s not forget their recent release, 2022’s Harder Than It Looks, marking their first self-released album.

Their live performances are legendary, with a touring history that includes sharing the stage with Blink-182, Green Day, Avril Lavigne, and Good Charlotte. They’ve also left their mark on unforgettable festival stages, including their show-stopping performance at Australia’s Good Things Festival in 2019.

As if that’s not enough reason to grab your tickets, here’s another: Simple Plan will donate $1 from each ticket sold on this tour to the Simple Plan Foundation. Established in 2005, the Simple Plan Foundation focuses on helping young people in need and showcases the power of music as a tool to find purpose and direction in life. To date, the Simple Plan Foundation has donated over $2 million to various charitable causes in Canada and has received numerous prestigious awards for its philanthropic work.
