Multi-platinum rock band Simple Plan have announced the next chapter of their massively successful U.S. headline run with the “Bigger Than You Think! Tour – The Sequel!,” returning to the road this summer following an unforgettable first leg. The “Bigger Than You Think! Tour – The Sequel!” continues Simple Plan’s 25th-anniversary celebrations with the kind of all-gas-no-brakes live show that has cemented the band as one of pop punk’s most beloved acts for more than two decades. Delivering a career-defining setlist including hits like I’m Just a Kid, Welcome to My Life, Summer Paradise and many more, the tour will kick off July 24 in Las Vegas and bring the band to Cincinnati, OH at The Andrew J Brady Music Center® on August 12.
The summer tour will once again feature special guests Bowling For Soup and 3OH!3 on all dates, making for a stacked lineup celebrating some of the most iconic and enduring artists of the pop-punk and alt-party era.
Reflecting on the decision to extend the tour, the band shared:
“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!”
ABOUT SIMPLE PLAN
For more than two decades, SIMPLE PLAN has been one of the most culturally and commercially successful bands in rock. Their multi-platinum 2002 debut album, No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls bore the smash singles “I’d Do Anything,” “I’m Just A Kid,” “Addicted” and “Perfect,” while subsequent hits “Welcome To My Life,” “Summer Paradise,” “Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?),” “Shut Up!” and “What’s New Scooby-Doo?” have cemented their legacy as pop-punk legends. In all, the Montreal-formed quartet has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, captivated the main stages of the Vans Warped Tour and When We Were Young, performed at the 2010 Winter Olympics and with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, sold out shows around the world and raised more than $3 million through the Simple Plan Foundation. Their videos have garnered more than a billion YouTube views, while their inescapable social media presence has driven billions of views on the viral #ImJustAKid Challenge alongside videos from *NSYNC, Ed Sheeran, Venus and Serena Williams, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and many more. Last year, they celebrated their landmark 25th anniversary with their biggest year yet, anchored by a career-spanning documentary on Amazon Prime Video, worldwide amphitheater and arena tours with Avril Lavigne and The Offspring and their most ambitious headlining trek in 20 years, the Bigger Than You Think! tour.

ABOUT 3OH!3
3OH!3 stands for 303, the telephone code for Boulder, Colorado, which happens to be the number-one question Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman get asked in interviews... well, that and, "how tall are you?!" (they're 6'8" and 6'1", incidentally). So now that that’s out of the way we can get to the juicer details of this mountain-raised, finely-aging boy band. 3OH!3 continue to tour all over the world, and HELL YES, they will still play all your favorite hits off of their first album WANT so your “middle school self” can truly live. They've played shows on every continent except for Antarctica (too cold). 3OH!3 are still hard at work writing and producing music. Their recent releases include the singles "Lonely Machines feat 100 Gecs" and "I'm So Sad" off their album NEED. Nat and Sean also write and produce songs for other artists including Maroon 5, BTS, Kesha, Illenium, Ariana Grande, Lil Jon, Black Bear, and MAX, to name a few. These pioneers of the early aughts party scene can teach you how to party - just come see your favorite Boulder Boyz in a city near you sometime soon. Or just stream "Don’t Trust Me" "My First Kiss" and "Starstrukk" on endless repeat - either way, they've got nothing but love for you and yours.
ABOUT BOWLING FOR SOUP
Bowling For Soup have spent the last 30 years proving they’re one of the most fun, engaging, and downright entertaining live bands in pop punk. Formed in Wichita Falls, TX, in 1994 and later relocating to Denton, BFS built their career on infectious anthems like “Girl All The Bad Guys Want,” “1985,” and “High School Never Ends,” along with theme songs for Jimmy Neutron and Phineas and Ferb. Their mix of massive singalongs, off-the-cuff comedy, and undeniable energy has made them a fan favorite across multiple generations, with parents now bringing their kids to join the party. Even after three decades, BFS show no signs of slowing down. In 2024, they marked their
30th anniversary with sold-out tours across the U.S., U.K., and Australia, celebrating 20 years of A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. Though longtime guitarist Chris Burney retired in early 2025, Jaret Reddick, Gary Wiseman, and Rob Felicetti continue to bring their signature chaos to the stage, headlining Wembley Arena in December 2025. With a new live acoustic album, a pop-punk covers record, and more music on the way, Bowling For Soup remain pop punk legends, keeping the good times rolling.
