Multi-platinum Canadian pop-punk legends Simple Plan are thrilled to announce their October 2026 UK & European Headline Tour, marking their triumphant return to the continent as they continue celebrating their 25th anniversary.
Hitting more than 19 cities across the UK and Europe and bookended by massive shows at Wembley Arena and Accor Arenas, in London and Paris respectively, this extensive run is their biggest headline tour in over a decade. The tour follows their just completed massive outing supporting The Offspring and signals an exciting new chapter for the band as they step onto some of the biggest stages of their career.
Speaking about the announcement, the band shares:
“We had such a great time playing all over Europe and the UK these past 2 months, we decided we just had to come back again in 2026! We couldn’t be more excited to bring our very own ‘Bigger Than You Think’! Tour all across the continent, playing full headline shows and extending our 25th anniversary celebrations. This means we will be performing all of our biggest hits along with fan favorites we rarely play live, spanning our entire discography. And we’re also bringing our friends Neck Deep with us, so these are going to be really special shows!
As we reflect on the past few years, we can’t help but feel so grateful and amazed at how awesome it’s been to play in Europe and the UK and receive such incredible support from all of you. It’s been so cool to see our old-school fans still there with us and a whole new generation joining them. The shows keep getting bigger and bigger and we can’t believe we will be playing such iconic, massive venues like Wembley Arena in London and the Accor Arena in Paris. This is a dream come true for us and we owe it all to you. Thank you so much and can’t wait to see you at the shows”!
People attending these shows can expect to hear all the songs that have defined Simple Plan’s legacy. From massive hits such as “I’d Do Anything”, “Welcome to My Life”, “Perfect”, “Shut Up!”, and the viral fan favourite “I’m Just a Kid” to other beloved tracks like “Addicted”, “Jump”, “Summer Paradise”, and their wildly popular theme song “What’s New, Scooby-Doo?”, the tour promises a lively lineup of their most well-known songs alongside fan-favourite deep cuts from throughout their career.

The 2026 tour announcement arrives shortly after the summer release of Simple Plan: “The Kids in the Crowd”, the band’s career-spanning documentary now streaming on Prime Video. The film offers an unprecedented and intimate look at Simple Plan’s rise – from Montreal basement rehearsals to global stardom – featuring never-before-seen archival footage, brand-new interviews, and appearances from punk luminaries including Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), Avril Lavigne, Dexter Holland & Noodles (The Offspring), and Fat Mike (NOFX).
Released alongside the documentary, the official soundtrack “The Kids in the Crowd” (Music from the Documentary Soundtrack) is available now on all digital platforms. The collection marks Simple Plan’s first-ever career anthology, featuring their biggest hits, fan favorites, rare demos, and the new single “Nothing Changes”. An Amazon Music exclusive edition includes the bonus track “I’m Just a Kid (Amazon Music Demo)”.
Simple Plan will donate 1€/1£ from each ticket and VIP package sold on this tour to the Simple Plan Foundation. Established in 2005, the Simple Plan Foundation focuses on helping young people in need and showcasing the power of music as a tool to find purpose and direction in life. Since its inception the Simple Plan Foundation has donated over $3M to various charitable causes in Canada and has been awarded many prestigious distinctions for its philanthropic work.
