Following the huge success of their 2024 Global Tour – their largest since 1985 – today Simple Minds announce a series of outdoor summer shows for 2025.
Throughout the past year Simple Minds have played to approximately one million people around the globe. Demand to see the band perform well known hits including ‘Promised You a Miracle’, ‘Glittering Prize’, ‘Someone Somewhere in Summertime’, ‘Waterfront’, ‘Alive and Kicking’, ‘All The Things She Said’, ‘Sanctify Yourself’, ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’, ‘Mandela Day’, ‘Belfast Child’ and ‘See The Lights’ has grown year on year, with the band consistently acclaimed as one of the best live outfits of their generation. Earlier this year referring to one of their UK shows, The Guardian said, “Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill preside over an energetic set which thrills fans of their chart reign and their post-punk era.”
Having sold over 60 million albums, and had number one hits the world over, not only have Simple Minds become a must-see live act, they have rekindled the magic that made them a vital artistic force in their early days and referenced by a slew of younger artists. Their most recent and critically acclaimed album ‘Direction of the Heart’ reached number 4 in the UK album chart and was top 10 in multiple territories. Reviewing the album, MOJO magazine described the band’s energy as ‘undiminished’ whilst other critics praised the band’s endurance and consistent creativity.
