Simple Plan announce 'No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls' tour dates with Real Friends

January 11, 2018

Simple Plan's iconic first album No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls turned 15 last year and the band celebrated by going on anniversary tours in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Now, it's time for Australian fans to hear the record in full live.

Simple Plan announced dates for the #NPNHJBtour in Australia with two very special guests: Real Friends and Eat Your Heart Out. Our hearts just melted.

“After releasing our 5th album last year and playing more than 100 shows in over 40 countries, we felt it was important take this opportunity to look back and celebrate the amazing adventure we've had as a band and as friends,” the band wrote before embarking on the first leg of the tour in 2017. “More than anything, we wanted to do this tour for you, our fans, who have been there since day one, supporting us and giving us the chance to do what we love the most in life.”

The Australian shows are happening in April and tickets go on sale Jan. 17 at 10am local time. They will be playing the album front-to-back, as well as some fan favorites.

Australia! We're headed your way to celebrate the #NPNHJBtour with Real Friends and Eat Your Heart Out!
