One of the most enduring names in the world of pop punk, Canadian rockers SIMPLE PLAN are set to return to Australia in April 2024, with special guests and fellow pop punk royals BOYS LIKE GIRLS and WE THE KINGS. With SIMPLE PLAN‘s Australian tour already sold out in Perth, Sydney and Brisbane, today the band also announces second and final shows for all three sold out cities, as well as a venue upgrade for Melbourne. And now also joining the down under adventures in 2024 will be rising pop star JAX, who also recently collaborated on SIMPLE PLAN‘s reimagined single Iconic.
A new show in Perth at Metro City will take place on Saturday 6 April, with Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall adding Monday 15 April, and Sydney’s second and final show locked in for Thursday 18 April at Hordern Pavilion. Melbourne’s venue has also upgraded to John Cain Arena, with all previously purchased tickets remaining valid, while a low ticket warning is in place for Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre Theatre for Tuesday 9 April. Tickets will be on sale on Wednesday 8 November at 11am local time.
“Thank you to all our amazing Aussie fans for all the love and support and selling out all these dates! We’re so excited to be able to play more shows for you and move our Melbourne concert to such an iconic venue. We always jump at the chance to spend more time Down Under so we couldn’t be more grateful!”
“After working with them on the incredible song “Iconic” and rocking the stage alongside Simple Plan at When We Were Young, I’m so excited that the band has invited me to tour with them on their Australian tour! This is going to be epic!” Jax
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.
The quartet, formed in Montreal in 1999, enjoy the rare sort of artist-audience dynamic that’s never dulled over time. Free agents for the first time in their storied career, 2022 saw SIMPLE PLAN keep their circle tight to bring to life their sixth studio album Harder Than It Looks, with a lack of deadlines and pressure from external forces enabling them to finally deliver the record they wholeheartedly wanted to make. In doing so, they rekindled a spark they didn’t know was missing.
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, BOYS LIKE GIRLS 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 outta 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 a ever-growing legion of fans, WE THE KINGS‘ catchy material is as renowned their charismatic live show.
JAX is a rising pop star known for her soulful voice, powerful performances, and captivating stage presence who rose to prominence on TikTok with her viral and top 40 hit Victoria’s Secret. With her unique blend of pop and R&B elements, JAX has garnered attention and accolades from fans and industry professionals. She continues to make waves in the music industry with her infectious music and authentic persona.
Get set for an international pop punk celebration for the ages in 2024, you absolutely won’t want to stay at home all alone next April.
