Canadian pop-punk legends Simple Plan have confirmed they’re heading back to the UK and Europe in 2026 for their biggest headline tour in over a decade. The band, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary, will play over 19 cities across the continent, with special shows at London’s Wembley Arena and Paris’s Accor Arena.
Joining them as special guests will be fellow pop-punkers Neck Deep, as the pair bring the “Bigger Than You Think!” Tour to fans across Europe.
The band expressed their excitement about returning:
“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!”
Simple Plan reflected on their journey:
“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.”
Fans can expect a setlist spanning Simple Plan’s entire career, including anthems like “I’d Do Anything,” “Welcome to My Life,” “Perfect,” and “Shut Up!,” as well as viral favourite “I’m Just a Kid.” The band will also perform deeper cuts from their discography including “Addicted,” “Jump,” “Summer Paradise,” and their beloved theme song “What’s New, Scooby-Doo?”

The tour announcement aligns with the release of “Simple Plan: The Kids In The Crowd,” the band’s career-spanning documentary now streaming on Prime Video. The film provides an intimate look at Simple Plan’s rise from Montreal’s underground scene to global success, featuring never-before-seen footage and interviews with punk icons including Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), Avril Lavigne, Dexter Holland & Noodles (The Offspring), and Fat Mike (NOFX).
Accompanying the documentary, the official soundtrack “The Kids In The Crowd (Music from the Documentary Soundtrack)” is available now on all digital platforms. It serves as Simple Plan’s first career anthology, compiling their biggest hits, rare tracks, demo recordings, and the new single “Nothing Changes.”
The band will donate €1/£1 from each ticket and VIP package sold to the Simple Plan Foundation. Founded in 2005, the foundation supports young people in need and demonstrates how music can help find purpose and direction in life. To date, the foundation has donated over $3M to charitable causes in Canada.
