#NEWMUSIC: SIMPLE PLAN X SCOOBY DOO COLLAB

For decades, Scooby-Doo and Simple Plan have shared a special connection through music, television, and a loyal fan following now, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and internationally acclaimed pop-punk band Simple Plan are teaming up to launch a new global partnership celebrating the band’s longstanding connection with Scooby-Doo.

The collaboration will bring exclusive Scooby-Doo fan activations, exclusive merchandise, and more to select Simple Plan live shows, kicking off at the Vans Warped Tour Long Beach on July 25.

Simple Plan’s relationship with Scooby-Doo has been built over two decades through animated guest appearances alongside Mystery Inc., performing the instantly recognizable What’s New, Scooby-Doo? theme song, music featured throughout the live-action Scooby-Doo films, and the now-iconic Scooby-Doo costume moment that has become a fan-favorite tradition at the band’s live shows.

Now, WBDGCP and Simple Plan are bringing that relationship full circle, inviting fans to celebrate two beloved pop culture brands whose shared history spans music, nostalgia, humor, and unforgettable moments through exclusive merchandise, celebratory activations, and memorable live experiences.

“Simple Plan’s connection to Scooby-Doo is one of the most authentic and enduring relationships in pop culture fandom,” said Sara Berba, VP, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. “We’re excited to officially bring the two together and create new moments that celebrate the music, memories, and fun that fans have shared for more than 20 years.”

“We can still remember recording the What’s New Scooby-Doo? theme song back in Montreal in 2002. It was an honor to be part of such an iconic franchise, and we were so stoked to appear as characters in one of the episodes.

At the time, we never imagined the song would still be a staple of our setlist nearly 25 years later. Thanks to social media, it found a whole new audience, with fans sharing thousands of videos and introducing it to a new generation.

Before long, fans started showing up to our shows dressed as Scooby and the gang, and we knew we had to play it live. It’s become one of our favorite moments every night, and we’re incredibly grateful for the passion fans bring to it.

We couldn’t be more excited to take our longtime friendship with WB and the Scooby-Doo franchise to the next level and give fans even more ways to celebrate one of the greatest cartoon theme songs of all time,” said Simple Plan

Beginning at the Vans Warped Tour Long Beach, fans can take photos with Scooby-Doo and the iconic Mystery Machine in a special activation exclusive to the event. Attendees can also keep an eye out for additional surprises throughout the show. Beyond Long Beach, fans can expect even more Scooby-Doo integrations and activations at future Simple Plan live shows, along with brand-new co-branded merchandise.

What began more than 20 years ago with a theme song has grown into a one-of-a-kind partnership, bringing together generations of fans through music, nostalgia, and the enduring appeal of Scooby-Doo and Simple Plan.
