Simple Minds

Formed in the seventies, and named after a lyric from David Bowie’s seminal 1972 single The Jean Genie, Simple Minds have become one of the most successful bands ever to come out of the UK.

The release of Sacrosanct coincides with Simple Minds embarking on their biggest arena tour to date, which will begin early February in Australia and New Zealand, before heading to Europe and the UK in April and May. 

Demand to see the band perform has grown exponentially over the last few years, with them being consistently recognised as one of the best live outfits of their generation. The Guardian said, “they’re back in arenas, with a retooled seven-piece line-up. Decades-old songs arrive waxed and polished, while more recent tracks have a contemporary shimmer.”

The Simple Minds V Tour 2027 promises a panoramic live music experience, an all-encompassing celebration of music across 5 decades from a band who have not only managed to remain relevant to each new generation, but continue to shape and perform with the same energy that has defined their career.

They have sold over 60 million records worldwide, had number one singles on both sides of the Atlantic, and number one albums the world over, including five UK number one albums in the UK: Sparkle In The Rain (1984), Once Upon A Time (1985) and Street Fighting Years (1989) as well as the concert recording Live In The City Of Light (1987), and the compilation Glittering Prize 81/92. 

Tickets go on sale Friday 11th September at 9:30AM.
