SIMPLE PLAN AND NEW FOUND GLORY RESCHEDULE POP PUNK'S STILL NOT DEAD TOUR

Living in a world without live music has been tough, but there is finally something to look forward to. For the first time, legendary pop-punk bands Simple Plan and New Found Glory are going on tour together. After having to reschedule the Pop Punk’s Still Not Dead Tour due to COVID-19, Simple Plan and New Found Glory will be journeying across the United States with rising alt-pop band LØLØ.

Alternative Press and Live Nation have teamed up for a special pre-sale of the show. For tickets, you can visit this link here and use the code ALTPRESS for those sweet sweet tickets. The sale will begin Wednesday, May 26 at 10 am local time and will end on May 27 at 10 pm.

The tour was originally announced in February when Simple Plan’s Pierre Bouvier and New Found Glory’s Jordan Pundik released the video below as the announcement. The tour was slated to begin in May to support New Found Glory’s new release, Forever and Ever x Infinity. Unfortunately, concerts were being pushed back so New Found Glory launched a livestream tour, the Unplugged Total Request Livestream where they did an acoustic set and let fans request their favorite songs.

Back in February, Simple Plan posted this statement about the tour.

“It's officially been one year since we played our last show. 

At the time, we had no idea that the world was about to change and that we wouldn’t be able to do what we love the most for months, without a clear end in sight yet.

It’s been heartbreaking and very difficult to be away from you for so long and we can’t wait until we can all be together again to experience the magical experience that is live music. We know a lot of you are going through a tough time not being able to go to shows and missing the connection and sense of community and belonging that comes from standing in the middle of a crowd listening to your favorite band or song. We miss it too so much.

Let’s all remember that we’re finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and that we will be reunited very soon. 

Please stay safe and healthy. We love you all and can’t wait to play for you again.”

The light at the end of the tunnel is slowly approaching and concerts will be returning soon. Simple Plan, New Found Glory, and LØLØ will be visiting several major U.S. cities such as Austin, Las Vegas, San Diego, Anaheim, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver, Boston, Detroit, New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis, and more this September and October.
