Although one would think a concert hosted by the band ‘Simple Plan’ would be quite a plain and depressing experience, they would be incorrect. For those of you who don’t know the one and only ‘Simple Plan’, they are a Pop/Punk band based in Montreal, Quebec. Although the band have quite a sad nature to their music, singing of past experiences such as childhood and heartbreak, the band does prove to be a “must-have” in anyone’s music library.

probably the most psyched group of fans if simple plan ever had any. tamer, evan, danny, eshaun, colm <3 katrina and mark from oz.
On the bands tour to Dubai they performed at the Madinat arena, a multi-purpose venue able to hold 4550 people, which was a shame to see a crowd of less than 1000, this was possibly because most people have better things to do on a Thursday night. But, although the band were missing their bass guitarist David Desrosier, they still managed to play to the standards of Rage team rider ‘Kyle Smith’, who found an upmost amount of satisfaction and stimulation to such cover’s as ‘I Kissed a Girl’ by Katie Perry and ‘Low’ by FLO Rida. After the concert finished surprisingly early, Rage team riders such as Shaun Barton, Kyle Smith, Colm Noonan, Evan Collisson and the likes of Mark Khalil, Greg Jojo and myself proceeded to the after party held at the “7-Star” cafeteria ‘Food and Drink’, located in the heart of Al Barsha. Here we were welcomed by Sajeerah and fellow employee’s greeting us with shawarma’s of the highest quality.
In conclusion, for those who were present at the Simple plan concert they can honestly say it was nothing but a breathtaking experience. The lighting and sound where somewhat spectacular and the pure talent coming from these great musicians was astonishing. A definite 10/10.
