Simple Plan will join the Good Things Festival lineup led by Limp Bizkit in Australia. The festival hits Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse on Dec. 4, Sydney Showground on Dec. 5 and Brisbane Showgrounds on Dec. 6.

Simple Plan have started writing their seventh studio album, which will follow their 2022 album Harder Than It Looks, with work set to continue into 2027. There is no release date for the album.

The band's debut album No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls marks 25 years next year. A special-edition vinyl and a few anniversary performances are being considered, but not a full album tour.

Simple Plan's first children's picture book, I'm Just a Kid: The Story of Simple Plan, illustrated by Jomike Tejido, is released March 9, 2027. Drummer Chuck Comeau says that sometimes about 85% of the audience has never seen the band.

The band's 2004 album Still Not Getting Any... debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. The songs "Perfect" and "Welcome to My Life" reached Nos. 24 and 40, respectively, on the Billboard Hot 100.

Comeau says there is no talk about a farewell tour and it is not in the cards for now.
