the Canadian pop-punk group formed in Montréal — have confirmed they will return to the United Kingdom and mainland Europe in 2026 with a new arena-scale tour titled “Bigger Than You Think!”
The tour is scheduled to kick off in early October 2026, with the first UK show slated for Manchester’s O2 Apollo on October 2, followed by a headline show at London’s OVO Arena on October 3 — one of the band’s biggest UK headline gigs to date. From there, Simple Plan will traverse across Europe, playing venues in cities such as Brussels, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Oslo, Berlin, Warsaw, Munich, Stockholm, and Milan among others.
The “Bigger Than You Think!” tour builds on the band’s momentum from earlier in 2025, when they kicked off a major North American headline tour under the same name — a run celebrating their 25th anniversary, featuring special guests 3OH!3, Bowling for Soup and rising pop-rock artist LØLØ.
The band has promised that the European dates will deliver full headline-show energy, blending their biggest hits — songs like “I’m Just a Kid,” “Welcome to My Life,” “Perfect” — with fan-favourites they seldom perform live, making for both nostalgia and celebration.
For fans in Europe and the UK, this tour marks an opportunity to revisit the energy and spirit of early-2000s pop-punk, now with decades of experience behind it. Stay tuned for ticket-sale dates, VIP packages, and any opening-act announcements.
