Multi-platinum pop-punk icons Simple Plan are officially heading back to the Philippines for their much-awaited Bigger Than You Think Tour.
Presented by Wilbros Live and Midas Promotions, the Manila stop is set for November 25 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Known for their nostalgic hits, the band’s comeback is already generating a buzz among Filipino fans.
Anticipation began building on April 23 when Wilbros Live shared the cryptic lyric, “I woke up it was seven, I waited ’til eleven,” referencing the band’s breakout anthem, “I’m Just A Kid.” The official announcement on April 24 quickly fueled excitement among longtime listeners eager to hear “Welcome to My Life,” “Perfect,” and “Jet Lag” performed live once again.
Joining the Manila run as a special guest is LØLØ, who previously toured with Simple Plan during the Pop Punk’s Still Not Dead tour. Her addition brings a layer of familiarity for fans who have followed the band’s global runs.
The Manila concert is part of a larger international tour spanning Europe and the UK, before heading into Asia with additional stops in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The tour also celebrates the band’s 25th anniversary.
Fans can also revisit the band’s journey through their documentary, Simple Plan: The Kids In The Crowd, which chronicles their rise from formation to global stardom.
Simple Plan last visited the Philippines in 2023 as part of their Harder Than It Looks tour, performing in Manila at the New Frontier Theater and in Davao at the SMX Convention Center.
Tickets for the upcoming show will be available via TicketNet. Presale starts on May 14 at 11:00 AM and general on-sale opens on May 5 at 11:00 AM.
