Simple Plan Announce They Are Dropping Off Upcoming Tour with New Found Glory
Just a few days ago, Simple Plan announced that they would be dropping off of their upcoming tour dates with New Found Glory on the highly anticipated “Pop Punk’s Still Not Dead Tour”. The band issued the following statement:
“We are very disappointed to announce that we have made the difficult decision to drop-off of the “Pop-Punk’s Still Not Dead” tour with New Found Glory. If you bought a ticket for the tour and would like a refund, you will be able to request one – keep an eye out on your email.
When we announced the rescheduled dates for the tour last May, the situation with the pandemic was very different from where it is now and we were cautiously optimistic that going back on tour could be safe for everyone.
Although we are all vaccinated and despite the very strict protocols we had planned to put in place, we are very concerned at the thought of going out on such an extensive tour.
After many tough discussions and internal debate, we have come to the conclusion that it just feels too soon for us.
There’s nothing we would love more than to be out there and play for all of you, but we have to follow our gut and do what feels right for us at this time.
We know a lot of you were really looking forward to seeing us play live again and will be disappointed by this news and might disagree with our decision. We want you to know that we acknowledge and respect your opinions, and that we are so sorry to let you down.
Our friends in New Found Glory have made the decision to move forward with the shows. They’re an amazing live band and we’re sad we won’t have the chance to see them play every night. We wish them the best and hope that everyone involved in the tour and all the fans who choose to attend will stay safe and health.”
The tour is still set to continue with New Found Glory and opening act LØLØ. The tour is set to kick off on August 31st in Dallas, TX, and will wrap up on October 16th in Lake Buena Vista, FL. The Bay Area date of the tour will take place on September 11th in Berkeley, CA at The UC Theatre. For more information on tickets and show information, click here.
