Simple Plan will bring a taste of Warped Tour to MN, even if the punk fest revival isn't coming
Gone are the days of Warped Tour bringing Vans-wielding kids to the Metrodome parking lot, and Minnesota isn't getting one of the three Warped Tour revival dates that start this summer.
However, a few bands that will be joining Warped Tour are coming to town. Simple Plan is bringing its Bigger Than You Think! tour to The Armory in Minneapolis on Aug. 19.
The tour will kick off in August after the band wraps up an opening stint with Avril Lavigne.
"It's hard to believe, but these will be our first proper U.S. headline shows in more than 8 years," drummer Chuck Comeau said in a statement. "To mark this very special milestone of 25 years of Simple Plan, we will be putting on the biggest shows of our lives, playing everything from our biggest hits to songs we haven't performed in years, and bringing the most elaborate stage production we've ever had!"
The band behind "Perfect" will be joined by Bowling for Soup, 3OH!3, and LØLØ, all of which will be appearing in at least one of the three Warped Tour dates.
Tickets for Simple Plan's pitstop in Minneapolis go on sale Friday, Feb. 28.
