Simple Plan are getting ready to hit the road in support of their self-titled third album. There have been some changes to the tour line-up; This tour continues to get bigger and better - Cute Is What We Aim For has just been confirmed to join buzz band Metro Station (on select dates) and Faber Drive on the Simple Plan tour.

Cute Is What We Aim For is a four-piece power pop band from Buffalo, NY.  In 2006, Cute Is What We Aim For released their Billboard 200 charting debut album entitled, The Same Old Blood Rush.  The band has toured with Fall Out Boy and Plain White T’s in the past year and now join Simple Plan on their upcoming Canadian tour.  Cute Is What We Aim For have just released their new album “Rotation.”

Metro Station recently released their critically acclaimed eponymous debut album which features a collection of sounds and lyrics reflecting the energy of our moment.  Metro Station are the perfect addition to the Simple Plan tour as their hook-filled danceable pop sounds promise to entertain fans across the country.

Following Simple Plan’s Quadruple Platinum debut release in 2002, the band have released two subsequent albums, a live album, a  DVD, had a string of radio hits with “I’d Do Anything,” “Addicted,” “Perfect,” and “Welcome To My Life,” crossed five continents and played thousands of  shows. Along the way, the band picked up a few hundred thousand fans and sold more than seven million albums worldwide.  Simple Plan’s 2004 release Still Not Getting Any has also surpassed Quadruple Platinum certification in Canada.  The band has been recognized with many, many awards in Canada over their career including: “Favourite Canadian Band Award” at the MuchMusic Video Awards for a record breaking four years in a row (2003-2006), “People’s Choice Award for Favourite Canadian Group” at the 2006 Junos, the “Rock Group” at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards and the 2006 ADISQ award for “Most Popular Artist Outside of Quebec.”

Simple Plan recently released their self-titled third album and it has already surpassed Platinum certification in Canada. Simple Plan is not just an album but a statement of artistic ambition and growth from the Montreal-based quintet.  As you'd expect from any band that would call its debut album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls, the self-titled release is a fearless, without-a-net excursion into dynamic music-making, taking what we love best about Simple Plan -- the unbridled energy, the ripping guitars, the hook-filled melodic sensibility -- and incorporating a slew of inventive sonic approaches informed by new collaborators such as Nate "Danja" Hills (Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Duran Duran, Nelly Furtado), Max Martin (James Blunt, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne), and Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Mudvayne). 

Don’t miss Simple Plan when they take the stage in London at John Labatt Centre on August 30th!!! A worldwide legion of fans can testify to the power of one of the fiercest live shows ever to hit the stage.
