Montréal, December 2nd, 2025 — Fresh off the announcement of their Fall 2026 European Tour, Simple Plan are coming home for the holidays with a gift that gives back. The Simple Plan Foundation and evenko proudly present “The Simple Plan & Friends” benefit concert taking place December 16, 2025, at Beanfield Theatre in Montréal.

This one-night-only, intimate benefit concert marks the return of a beloved holiday tradition — and arrives in a milestone year for the band’s charitable work. This year, the Simple Plan Foundation (SPF) celebrates its 20th anniversary, honouring two decades of commitment to supporting young people in need.

20 YEARS OF IMPACT: THE SIMPLE PLAN FOUNDATION’S MISSION

Created in 2005, the Simple Plan Foundation’s mission is to help young people facing adversity. Its work focuses on three key pillars:

1. Supporting youth facing major life challenges. Helping organizations working with young people dealing with mental health struggles, drug use, depression, bullying, poverty, suicide risks, and the effects of war.

2. Assisting social and medical organizations that help ill or disabled children and teens. Supporting hospitals, care programs, and specialized services that improve quality of life for sick children.

3. Promoting access to music, musical training and musical therapy programs Encouraging the practice of music in schools and supporting music therapy programs as tools to build self-esteem, purpose, and resilience.

Over the last 20 years, the Foundation has donated $3 million to dozens of charitable organizations across Canada. The Foundation will announce its 2025 donations on the day of the show.

A RARE AND EXCLUSIVE CONCERT EXPERIENCE

For only the second time in their entire career, Simple Plan will perform their iconic 2004 album “Still Not Getting Any…” in full. This Montréal performance is a truly rare opportunity for fans to experience the album in its entirety and hear songs the band rarely plays live.

Adding to the celebration, the band will be joined by Québec royalty Les Trois Accords, who graciously accepted the invitation to be part of this special evening.

Quote from Simple Plan:

“We are extremely happy to bring back a tradition that is very important to us by announcing the return of the Simple Plan Foundation’s annual show, which will take place on December 16th at the Beanfield Theatre!

The Simple Plan Foundation’s benefit concert has always been a very special event for us, and we had so much fun playing these benefit-shows over the past 20 years. It is one of our favorite ways to raise funds to help young people in need, a cause to which our Foundation is dedicated. It is also the opportunity to invite our fans and supporters to join us in making a difference in their community and to offer them a unique and very different show from our regular concerts.

This year, we had the idea of celebrating the 21st anniversary of our second album Still Not Getting Any… and offering a full performance of the album’s songs, something we have only done once in our career. It is therefore a very rare opportunity for our fans to attend a very exclusive show and contribute to the SP Foundation, and for us to play songs we love and don’t often perform live.

On top of that, our good friends Les Trois Accords have very graciously agreed to join us to make the evening even more memorable. We thank them for their great generosity and kindness.

All money raised from the evening will go to our Foundation, which is dedicated to helping young people across the country. We can’t wait to see everyone on December 16th at the Beanfield Theatre for what promises to be an amazing evening.”
