Canadian pop-punk heroes Simple Plan have announced a 2024 tour of Austraia. The beloved Montreal four-piece will bring their collection of timeless crossover hits with them when the tour lands on our shores in April.
Joining them on all shows will be not one, but two international supports in the form of fellow pop-punk stars Boys Like Girls and We The Kings.
Speaking about the tour which will be their first visit to Australia since 2019, the band shared their excitement and promised to make up for lost time. "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 favourite places in the world. 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. We hope to see you there!"
Tickets for the tour will go on sale via Destroy All Lines at 9 a.m. local time on Friday, 13 October. Head here for more info.

From their new millennium rise to MTV superstardom through to pop punk’s modern resurgence that has introduced their iconic, multi-platinum sound to new audiences around the world, Simple Plan have been an indelible part of pop culture for more than two decades, dominated by the fact that they’ve never lost sight of what got them there in the first place: their fans.
Formed in Montreal in 1999, enjoy the rare sort of artist-audience dynamic that’s never dulled over time. Between selling over 10 million albums worldwide, achieving MTV superstardom, taking home multiple awards and spawning a viral TikTok challenge, the band have also actively unleashed new music throughout their 20+ years in existence, affirming their legacy once again most recently with 2022's Harder Than It Looks; also the band's first self-released album.
Revered for their timeless and immersive live performances, as well as smash singles including I'm Just a Kid and Welcome to My Life, Simple Plan's touring history spans blink-182, Green Day, Avril Lavigne and Good Charlotte, as well as unforgettable festival sets across the globe, including their show-stopping appearance at Australia's Good Things Festival in 2019.

Since forming as teenagers in 2004, Boys Like Girls have skyrocketed from their humble beginnings in damp basements and garages to wielding half a billion Spotify streams alongside multiple platinum and gold-certified releases. Following a hiatus and eventual jubilant return in 2016, the band are set to release their first new album in over a decade, with SUNDAY AT FOXWOODS due out in 2023 before returning once more down under in 2024.
Armed with a buoyant spirit and emotionally poignant songwriting, Florida's We The Kings erupted straight out the gates in 2007 with their self-titled debut album, spawning the ear-candy single Check Yes Juliet which would go on to claim its stake as one of the most iconic songs of the late 2000s. Now in command of eight studio albums and an ever-growing legion of fans, the band's catchy material is as renowned as their charismatic live show.
