Simple Plan Announce “Bigger Than You Think!” Summer 2025 Headline Tour with Bowling For Soup & 3OH!3

Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since Simple Plan have done their own proper headlining tour but they decided they’re ready to bring the fun back around for the Summer!

Simple Plan are also bringing Bowling For Soup and 3OH!3 on the road with them to maximize the fun. When asked about the tour, Simple Plan drummer, Chuck Comeau said, “We’re so excited for our “Bigger Than You Think!” US tour this Summer! It’s hard to believe, but these will be our first proper US headline shows in more than 8 years and the timing couldn’t be better as we celebrate our 25th anniversary as a band!”

The band are teasing that these will be the biggest shows they’ve ever played. They’ll play every hit they’ve released (of which there are too many to name) and Chuck promises songs they haven’t performed in years will be on the set list this time around!

Presale tickets go on sale today, Feb 25th at 12noon local venue time. Head over to each artists’ Instagram and sign up for the artist pre sale code to get early access to tickets before general on sales begin Friday Feb 28th at 10am local venue time.

Leave a comment

I’m not saying that we spoke this tour into existence but we kinda spoke this into existence. Since we caught the Simple Plan & Sum41 tour last Summer, and we were jealous that Canada got Simple Plan and The Offspring together, our meditation phrase has been “The Offspring, Sum 41, Simple Plan Summer Tour that we can get to.” We’re pleased to announce that it’s finally real, y’all!

Simple Plan Add Summer “NPNHJB” Tour Dates

1 Comment

Normally we aren’t fans of Mondays but we’ll let this one slide because Simple Plan announced more dates for their 15th Anniversary Tour of “No Pads No Helmets…Just Balls” Tour for the Summer!  They’re taking our friends in Patent Pending out with them for this Summer round of dates and we’re so excited to finally see PTPG’s dreams of touring with Simple Plan come true.

In case you haven’t heard of Patent Pending before, 5 years ago, the guys in PTPG wrote an open letter – song actually, to Simple Plan begging them to let them open for the Canadians on a tour or even just one show.  The guys got the chance just before the official start of the NPNHJB Tour in NYC back in March to open and they had such a blast!  The SP fans liked them too because everyone was dancing and waving their pirate hooks in the air during the guys’ set.  They even helped Corey win the Crowd Swimming Championships that night!  I think that counts as a huge success. SP thought so too because they’re taking the guys on tour officially!!

Check out the new Summer dates below and get your tickets when they go on sale on Friday, April 7th.

NPNHJB Summer 2017 Tour Dates ft. Simple Plan & Patent Pending
Aug 18th – The Intersection – Grand Rapids, MI – Buy Tickets
Aug 19th – Bogart’s – Cincinnati, OH – Buy Tickets
Aug 20th – Egyptian Room – Indianapolis, IN – Buy Tickets

Aug 30th – Ace of Spades – Sacramento, CA – Buy Tickets
Sept 1st – Crystal Ballroom – Portland, OR – Buy Tickets
Sept 2nd – Neptune Room – Seattle, WA – Buy Tickets

Watch Patent Pending’s plead 5 years ago for SP to take them on tour.  Sometimes, writing a catchy song explaining how big of a fan you are will work!!

If you haven’t booked your cabin for Warped Rewind At Sea, they’re selling out fast for this once in a lifetime 4-day cruise featuring Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, The Starting Line, Reel Big Fish, Mayday Parade, Less Than Jake, and so many more amazing artists!

SecretFangirls.com Interview Seaway

Leave a comment

If you haven’t heard of Seaway yet, you’re about to!  We first caught the band opening for Sorority Noise and Knuckle Puck almost a year ago and we’ve been hooked on their catchy pop punk tunes ever since.  Singer Ryan Locke, guitarist/vocalist Patrick Carleton, guitarist Andrew Eichinger, bassist Adam Shoji, and drummer Ken Taylor have perfected the art of crafting hook filled songs like “Slam”, “Airhead”, and “Trick (So Sweet)” that you can’t help but sing along to!  They also put on a super fun, high energy live show that is not to be missed. 

Hailing from Ontario, Canada, Seaway are currently on tour with fellow Canucks, Simple Plan in honor of the 15th Anniversary of “No Pads No Helmets…Just Balls.”  The tour officially kicked off in Florida last week and includes a stop in NYC on Saturday at Playstation Theater.  We can’t wait to hear them play their massive debut album front to back.  Catch us in the pit raging like our 13-year old selves would have wanted!

We had the chance to talk with Seaway guitarist Andrew Eichinger about what’s on their tour rider, and what to expect from the next Seaway album.  Read our interview with Andrew below!

SecretFangirls.com: You just kicked off the Simple Plan “No Pads No Helmets Just Balls” 15th Anniversary Tour for such an iconic pop punk album. What are you looking forward to most on this tour?
Andrew Eichinger: We’re really looking forward to playing in front of a ton of new people and doing our best to win them over. But it will also be very cool to see Simple Plan play that album front to back. Being from Canada, it was such a huge record for us when we were like 9/10 years old, so to be on this tour is one of those full circle moments for us and we’re super excited.

How would you describe a Seaway show in 3 words for those who haven’t seen you live before?
High Voltage Party

What are some “must haves” on your tour rider?
Nacho chips, queso and salsa. Not too spicy though lmao ;)~

Do you have any pre-concert rituals?
Not really. We’re pretty boring honestly. Usually just have a couple suds.

What artist have you or would you totally fangirl over if you met?
Shania Twain or Alanis Morissette.

The nostalgia is in full force with your album “Colour Blind” from the art to the sound.  What artists are your biggest influences as a band?
I think late 90’s / early 2000’s pop punk bands like Blink, Sum 41, New Found Glory and even Simple Plan are the obvious ones on that record because that’s the stuff that we grew up on. But we’re influenced by all kinds of different artists and bands on the pop and rock side of things that come out a little on Colour Blind and will continue to, on our next record.

You’ve been teasing photos from the studio lately, what can fans expect from a new Seaway album?
It’s hard to say right now but based on the songs we have it will be a natural progression from everything we’ve done in the past, but there will definitely be some new twists and turns in there as well.

Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans?
Shout out to the fans who are spending a little more than usual to come see us on this tour. It means a lot to us to have our fans there wildin out while we play in front of a sea of people that haven’t heard us before.

Catch Seaway on tour with Set It Off and Simple Plan on the “No Pads No Helmets…Just Balls” 15th Anniversary Tour!

Grab a copy of “Colour Blind” on iTunes or Amazon so you can sing along on tour!

Friday Five: Simple Plan Songs From NPNHJB

Leave a comment

You will always love the music that you liked when you were 13.  This is one of the most true statements we have ever heard! Simple Plan, as bizarre as it sounds, has had a profound effect on us…well one of us anyway.  They’re the reason we picked up the guitar, the reason we wore those huge khaki shorts with tall tube socks, Vans, and Role Model clothing.  Yeah….we were super fangirls for SP, complete with an email address dedicated to Seb’s eyes!  We won’t get into that now though.  Here is our Friday Five favorite deep cuts from the Canadian band’s debut album “No Pads, No Helmets, Just Balls” which they’re currently playing in full on the 15th Anniversary Tour!

“Meet You There”  – This is one of the  songs on an album full of angsty emo teen songs. No matter where life takes us, we’ll always meet Simple Plan there.

“My Alien” – It seems like every good pop punk band need a song about aliens, space, and/or  girlfriends. SP hit all three targets.  Thy went and got the Astronaut kit so if you can provide the rocket, they’ll be with their beloved 4 leg/2 armed girlfriend again.

“You Don’t Mean Anything” – When your two favorite singers collab on a single, that’s definitely going to be your favorite song! Joel Madden from Good Charlotte lent his vocals to the third track on SP’s debut album and we’re still surprised this was never a single.

“The Worst Day Ever”  – If you thought “I’m Just A Kid” was emo, this song takes the cake for being one of the most emo songs we have ever heard.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8RzY5X6xp4

“One Day” – The acoustic picking in this song sounds out of place with the rest of the album if you’re not looking at the big picture of early 2000s music. SP really are masters at their craft because if you just heard this song with no context or name attached, chances are you might not realize it’s the same band that wrote “I’m Just A Kid.”  This is still one of our favorite emo deep cuts, hands down!

It’s officially Winter in NYC and we’re already looking forward to next Summer at the Warped Tour with all our favorite bands.  Warped Tour Founder, Kevin Lyman and the Warped Tour Team are giving us an early Christmas present and a second Warped Weekend in 2017 called “Warped Rewind At Sea“!

Grab your passports, swimsuits, sun screen, and your best costumes because “Warped Rewind At Sea” sets sail from New Orleans October 28th -Nov 1st.  Yeah, you get to spend Halloween on a cruise ship with Good Charlotte, 3OH!3, Less Than Jake, and Simple Plan!! We’re not crying, you’re crying!!!   Book now for first choice of staterooms and let’s get warped at sea together!

“Warped Rewind At Sea” is literally our 13 year old fangirl dreams coming to life and we’ve already sent mass texts to book our own stateroom on this boat.  On top of sailing with some of our favorite bands, Kevin Lyman will host a special Q&A session, theme nights and concerts every night by the bands, and there will even be special excursions in Cozumel for cruisers.  You could be playing blackjack, shooting hoops, and even getting wild in the pool with your favorite band on this boat (we’ll try to keep it together for all of us.)

Click HERE for more info on the cruise, what you’ll need to book the best stateroom for you and your squad, as well as updates on the cruise.  Everything from meals to pool and hot tub amenities as well as spa treatments, casinos, sports facilities, and even the concerts on the ship are included in the price so really, this cruise is a steal!!
