Multi-platinum rock band Simple Plan are keeping the momentum alive. Following a wildly successful U.S. headline run, the band has announced the “Bigger Than You Think! Tour – The Sequel!”—a North American summer extension of their 25th-anniversary celebration. Known for their high-energy performances and emotionally resonant pop-punk anthems, the band is once again hitting the road with a career-spanning setlist.
A Victory Lap 25 Years in the Making
The Live Nation-produced tour kicks off July 24 in Las Vegas at The Pearl and runs through August 20, concluding in Toronto at the RBC Amphitheatre, where Marianas Trench will join as special guests. The sequel tour brings Simple Plan to cities they missed during the first leg, giving even more fans the chance to relive the soundtrack of the early 2000s.
Reflecting on the decision to extend the run, the band shared, “Last summer, our ‘Bigger Than You Think!’ U.S. headline tour was one of the best times we’ve ever had on the road.” They added, “The setlist will celebrate our 25 years as a band, packed with our biggest hits, fan favorites, and songs we haven’t played in years.” Fans can expect staples like “I’m Just a Kid,” “Welcome to My Life,” and “Summer Paradise,” alongside deeper cuts from their 2002 debut album No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls.
A Stacked Pop-Punk Lineup
Joining Simple Plan on all dates are Bowling For Soup and 3OH!3, making this tour a nostalgic powerhouse. Bowling For Soup—formed in 1994 in Wichita Falls, Texas—continue to ride high after sold-out anniversary tours and a headlining show at Wembley Arena in December 2025. Meanwhile, 3OH!3 bring their party-ready energy and global touring pedigree, ensuring each night feels like a celebration of the alt-pop and pop-punk golden era.
Tickets, Presales, and Giving Back
Tickets will first be available through Verizon and Citi presales from February 10 at 12PM local time through February 12 at 10PM local time. General tickets go on sale Friday, February 13 at 10AM local time. VIP upgrades—including meet-and-greet experiences and exclusive perks—will also be available.
In addition to delivering an unforgettable live experience, Simple Plan continue their philanthropic mission. The band will donate $1 from every ticket sold to the Simple Plan Foundation, which has raised over $3 million for charitable causes since its founding in 2005.
After 25 years, a documentary on Amazon Prime Video, and performances from Vans Warped Tour to the 2010 Winter Olympics, Simple Plan show no signs of slowing down. As they put it: “It’s going to be a blast — see you at the shows!”
