June 19th, 2025 — Multi-platinum-selling band, Simple Plan, has unveiled the first look at their upcoming documentary, 'Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd', which offers an intimate glimpse into the band's remarkable 25-year journey as Canadian punk rock fan-favourites. The documentary premieres July 8th on Prime Video across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Fans can watch the trailer HERE.

"We're thrilled to share this first look at our documentary. The film captures our journey, struggles, and most memorable moments together. Creating it has been deeply meaningful, and sharing our story is the perfect way to celebrate our 25th anniversary," said the band. "'The Kids in the Crowd' is about dreaming big and perseverance. It's a story of friendship, brotherhood, and music's transformative power. Our hope is that it encourages people to believe in themselves and inspires a new generation of kids to find their passion, follow their hearts, and maybe even start a band in their own garage or basement...just like we did!"
