Canadian punk rockers Simple Plan are a Vans Warped Tour staple, having played there every summer from 1999 to 2005. In 2011, Simple Plan joined the Warped Tour once again treating ticket buyers to high-energy live concerts anchored by hits like "I'm Just a Kid," "I'll Do Anything," and "Shut Up!" The band's show has been recorded on two separate live albums: "Live in Japan 2002," during their sold out run there, and "MTV Hard Rock Live." Simple Plan returned with their fifth studio album "Get Your Head On!" in 2013, and it includes guest appearances from Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.
Simple Plan is composed of childhood friends who got together in the early '90s under the moniker Reset before changing names and releasing their debut, "No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls," in 2002. The Canadian rockers have won numerous awards at the MuchMusic Awards, Juno Awards, Teen Choice Awards and NRJ Music Awards. The band is also active in charitable efforts, such as MTV Asia Aid, MADD, RAAADD and Make-A-Wish Foundation, and launched their own non-profit in 2005 that focuses on teen problems like suicide and drug addiction. Simple Plan is a band that has survived nearly fifteen years of recording and touring in an industry not known for longevity. The group continues to do it with fantastic live sets and philanthropy.
It was a great line up with some great canadian bands though it seemed to me that most of the teens that were there went to see the opening acts rather than the main event
Their harmony was awesome and buying thru ticket master went very smooth. Loved loved loved Marianas Trench.
great show all band where good sound was not loud enough
I've been waiting a decade to see them perform in concert and Simple Plan did not disappoint! I didn't even know who the opening acts would be, so they were an interesting surprise. These Kids Wear Crowns were better than I expected for their live performance and did a little tribute to Whitney Houston (she'd been found dead a couple of hours prior to the concert). I'd never heard of All Time Low and their songs and performances were rather forgettable compared to the other bands. To be honest, I couldn't really enjoy them if I wanted to since I was in the floor mosh pit and the pushing, shoving, heaving, sweating, body odour, hair snagging, and crowd surges were at their peak during this time. For how cold it was outside, it was suffocatingly hot, sticky, and sweaty on the floor. Beware of dehydration! Marianas Trench were at the top of their game and the lead singer is a real showman on stage. Lastly, Simple Plan knocked my socks off and showed why they deserve to be the headlining act! The songs were incredible to hear live and Pierre is an amazingly charismatic performer. The concert is 4 hours long with Simple Plan playing for two of those hours, so you definitely get your money's worth! Thank you to the people checking bags prior to the concert who probably eliminated any pot being smuggled into the arena. It was already suffocating enough in the venue. I don't think my asthmatic sister would have survived pot smoke as well. Be warned that heaps of girls who reached the front of the mosh pit fainted or were crushed by the surging crowd and had to be pulled out. For the sake of yourself and people around you, PLEASE WEAR DEODORANT. tl;dr - These Kids Wear Crowns: Good performance - All Time Low: Nothing special - Marianas Trench: Great show - Simple Plan: Rocked it like the amazing pros they are - Beware of insane pushing and shoving on floor and hydrate before the show
It was absolutely incredible. First time I have been to a concert where every band was amazing. Very interactive with the crud and went outside post concert for meet and greet.
As someone who didn't like These Kids Wear Crowns on cd, they sounded much better live. All Time Low was fantastic, as always (by far the funniest band at the show, excellent stage presence and obviously great musical performance). Marianas Trench was by far the best of the concert, never have I witnessed such an incredible live musical performance, simply amazing. Simple Plan headlined and performed great as well. All in all this is was a show that I would like to relive over and over again.
These Kids Wear Crowns - this band played the shortest set. They got the crowd jumping and excited by sending their own excitement pulsing through the audience. I don't know how these guys jump like mad men and still sing their songs with great tune. However amazing they were at performing, they were probably the least exciting. They are still a fairly new band, so maybe they're still just getting the hang of things. 3/5 All Time Low - this band played a little longer than TKWC. They were crazy. I can't emphasize that enough. The guitarist paid much attention to fans, doing everything from humping the air, going down amongst the fans, letting a fan hold his guitar (and having trouble getting it back), and standing on top of an amp. They were the second most exciting. I didn't know who they were before this, but I will definitely remember them now. 4/5 Marianas Trench - this band is the reason I bought my ticket, and it was apparent why as soon as their props were being set up. Their crew (dressed in masks to go along with their toy fantasy story theme) pushed out letter blocks (with 'E', 'A', 'M', and 'T' standing for "Ever", "After", "Marianas", and "Trench" on them). After all those props were out, the crew rolled out a jack in the box. The crew hit the handle to make it spin (or look like they made it spin) and the lights went down. The story of "Ever After" was narrated in a dark, low voice. After the story stopped, Josh Ramsay (the lead singer) came out of the Jack in the box, singing the title track "Ever After" in beautiful harmony. After the first verse or so, Matt, Mike, and Ian (guitarist, bassist, drummer) joined in with him, Matt and Mike standing on letter blocks 'E' and 'A'. They played quite a few songs, getting the crowd super wild. Throughout the performance, they had more narrations told. They were dressed in costume, Josh with sparkling hair and a white military-style coat -- though changing slightly throughout the show -- the others in matching soldier outfits. They were as close to flawless as one can get without being a tour headliner. The only thing I would have changed would be for them to have played more of their new songs, and not combine the old ones. That being said, still definitely the show stoppers that night. 5/5 Simple Plan - I was impressed. I haven't listened to Simple Plan in years; and in fact I used to be quite the fan. They were pretty catchy, combining new and old songs, which was a good move for them, since they have so many older songs that are huge hits. The best part of their performance was when they had beach balls released from the ceiling. They really had the crowd dancing. After Marianas Trench, I left the front row, and watched from behind the wheelchair accessible spots. It made me cry a little to see physically disabled dancing away by use of their arms. They were pretty good, but there was nothing special -- though they have stuck to their ways over the years, so they don't need to change, because their thing is exactly what they did. Unfortunately for people who aren't fans, it just seems generic. They were the second least exciting. 3.5/5 Unbiasedly, Marianas Trench did the best performance, hands down. If they weren't the best, they would still have been my favourite personally, because that is who I enjoy to see, but for the sake of the review I would be honest. I have criticized them before. But, they were honestly the best performance. Go see for yourself, you will not regret it. You will enjoy all the bands.
The venue was great, the sound was good, the show was entertaining. The opening are were great. I would definitely show these bands again!

It was fantastic. 4 hours. and suprise guest These Kids Wear Crowns. My girls were absolutely thrilled. Will go again,
We had seat in the C section and still found the concert amazing. There were people of all ages there and both boys and girls, though a majority of the crowd was teenage girls. The energy was so incredible, it was my first concert and I am very happy that I got to see them. I have been a fan since they first started and really enjoyed it as well did my friend who only knew two of simple plans songs.
