Multi-platinum pop-punk veterans Simple Plan have officially unveiled their 2026 North American tour, Bigger Than You Think! Tour – The Sequel!, continuing the celebration of the band’s 25th anniversary with support from fellow nostalgia acts Bowling for Soup and 3OH!3. The expanded summer run features stops across the U.S., Canada and one standout New England date, promising a mix of the band’s biggest hits, fan favorites and deeper cuts rarely played live.
Simple Plan released a statement reflecting on the success of last summer’s headline tour and their excitement for the 2026 extension:
“Last summer, our Bigger Than You Think! U.S. headline tour was one of the best times we’ve ever had on the road. Every single show was amazing and we had so much fun playing with our great friends Bowling For Soup and 3OH!3 — we honestly didn’t want it to end.
As soon as the last show wrapped, we knew we had to find a way to keep it going and visit all the awesome cities we missed on the first run.
So we couldn’t be more excited to announce the Bigger Than You Think! Tour — The Sequel! coming to a city near you this summer! If you missed out last year or want to relive all the fun again, we can’t wait to play for you. The setlist will celebrate our 25 years as a band, packed with our biggest hits, fan favorites, and songs we haven’t played in years. It’s going to be a blast — see you at the shows!”
This celebratory tone highlights the band’s intent to honor their long career while revisiting cities and venues they didn’t hit in 2025.

Simple Plan’s 2026 tour will lean heavy into nostalgia, celebrating a quarter-century as one of pop punk’s defining acts. Audiences can expect high-energy renditions of hits like “I’m Just a Kid,” “Welcome to My Life” and “Summer Paradise,” alongside deep tracks and possibly songs the band hasn’t played live in years.
Support from Bowling for Soup brings classics like “1985” and humorous sing-alongs, while 3OH!3 adds party-ready electro-pop flair with songs such as “Don’t Trust Me.”
Tickets went on sale in mid-February 2026, with Citi and Verizon presales preceding the general onsale on February 13 at 10 a.m. local time. VIP packages offering meet-and-greet opportunities and other perks are also available at many venues.
This Sequel leg extends the band’s celebration following sold-out dates in 2025 and prominent support slots with acts like The Offspring and Avril Lavigne. Simple Plan’s continued touring success underscores both the longevity of their music and the enduring appetite for early-2000s pop punk nostalgia.
Online fan communities have expressed excitement about the lineup — many seeing the tour as a chance to relive formative concert memories and introduce the band’s catalog to younger fans. Comments from past tours suggest high energy and enthusiastic sing-alongs are staples of these shows, with multiple support bands rotating roles and keeping setlists fresh.
