Simple Plan Marks 25 Years With Exclusive Prime Video Documentary
Pop-punk fans, get ready to hit play on nostalgia. Canadian icons Simple Plan are celebrating their 25th anniversary by teaming up with Amazon for a brand-new documentary, Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd, streaming exclusively on Prime Video starting July 8—just in time for Prime Day.
From Montreal Basements to World Stages
This isn’t just another band story. The documentary offers a front-row seat to Simple Plan’s rise from humble beginnings in Montreal to sold-out arenas worldwide. Directed by Didier Charrette, the film features never-before-seen footage, candid interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments that reveal the real-life challenges, triumphs, and brotherhood that kept the band together for a quarter-century.
You’ll hear from punk rock royalty, too—look out for appearances by Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Avril Lavigne, and members of The Offspring, Sum 41, and more.
Soundtrack and Surprises for Fans
Alongside the documentary, Amazon Music is releasing a full soundtrack on July 8, including a rare early demo of “I’m Just a Kid” and a brand-new track from the band. It’s a chance to relive the anthems that defined a generation and discover new music that keeps Simple Plan’s legacy alive.
A Message of Dreams and Perseverance
For Simple Plan, this film is more than a look back—it’s a celebration of dreaming big, sticking together, and letting music change your life. The band hopes their story inspires a new wave of young musicians to follow their hearts and maybe even start their own bands in garages or basements, just like they did.
