Simple Plan is heading back to Southeast Asia — and they aren't arriving quietly!
The Canadian pop-punk band dropped the Southeast Asia leg dates of their "Bigger Than You Think!" tour, with stops in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Manila, Jakarta, and Surabaya in November 2026, followed by a Hong Kong show in December 2026.
Featuring special guest LØLØ, the tour is part of the band’s ongoing 25th anniversary celebration.
The tour kicks off on Nov. 21, 2026 at Idea Live Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, before heading to Singapore Indoor Stadium on Nov. 22, 2026. After that is a stop in Manila, Philippines, where Simple Plan will perform at Araneta Coliseum on Nov. 25, 2026. Indonesian fans are lucky, with two stops: Tennis Indoor Senayan in Jakarta on Nov. 27, 2026 and Jatim Expo in Surabaya on Nov. 28, 2026. The Southeast Asia leg ends on Dec. 1, 2026 at AXA Wonderland in Hong Kong.
Tickets and VIP upgrades will be available through the band's official website. Presale for Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Manila, Jakarta, and Surabaya begins at 11 AM (SGT) on May 4, followed by a general sale at 11 AM (SGT) on May 5. Hong Kong fans get a separate ticketing schedule, with presale starting at 10 AM (HKT) on May 11, and the general sale at 10 AM (HKT) on May 13.
To receive the presale code for early access, fans are encouraged to join the Simple Plan HQ broadcast channel.
"It's been three years since our last visit in 2023," the band said in their announcement, adding that they're grateful to return to a part of the world that has been a long-time supporter of Simple Plan.
Formed in Montreal in 1999, Simple Plan currently consists of Pierre Bouvier, Chuck Comeau, Jeff Stinco, and Sébastien Lefebvre. The group rose to fame in the early 2000s, becoming one of the most recognizable bands in the pop-punk scene.
Their debut album, "No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls," was released in 2002 and featured one of their biggest hits, "Perfect." Simple Plan's follow-up, "Still Not Getting Any..." was launched in 2004, featuring fan favorites such as "Welcome to My Life," "Shut Up!," "Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?)" and "Crazy."
Later hits such as "Jet Lag," featuring Natasha Bedingfield, "Astronaut," and "Summer Paradise" helped extend the band's appeal beyond the era of MySpace and Friendster. The upcoming shows are expected to lean into the band's anniversary milestone, hopefully giving OG pop-punk fans a chance to revisit the songs that they sang (screamed) during their childhood and teenage years.
