One of the most successful bands of their generation; Simple Minds will take a break from the preparations of their new album to celebrate their 30th Anniversary with a series of six rare UK concerts during November and December.
The concerts celebrates 30 glorious years dating back to the first time Simple Minds played their very first concert on January 17th at the Satellite City Club in Glasgow, as the support act to Steel Pulse. Simple Minds will perform for the first time the entirety of their multi-million selling 1982 album ‘New Gold Dream’ featuring the hits Promised You a Miracle, Glittering Prize, and Someone, Somewhere (In Summertime). The second half of the concert will see the band perform some of their best known songs from their classic albums staring off with ‘Life in a Day’ (1979), ‘Reel To Reel Cacophony’ (1979), ‘Empires & Dance’ (1980), right up to their groundbreaking first album with Virgin, ‘Sons & Fascination’ (1980) featuring the hit Love Song. The band will also highlight songs from the album ‘Sparkle in the Rain’ (1984) that includes the hits Waterfront and Up On The Catwalk, as well as the U.S. No.1 hit single Don’t You (Forget About Me) (1985), plus the benchmark album ‘Once Upon A Time’ (1985) featuring the massive global anthem Alive and Kicking. But that’s not all. The band will also perform songs like Belfast Child from 1989’s ‘Street Fighting Years’ right up to 2005’s return-to-form album ‘Black & White 050505’ featuring the songs Home and Stranger. Incredibly, Simple Minds have scored over twenty Top 20 hits in a career spanning nearly three decades. They have sold over 35 million records, had five number one albums, a No. 1 single in America - plus three American top ten singles and been Voted Q magazine’s World’s Best Live Act. Throughout their illustrious 30-year career in music, Simple Minds have embarked on countless sold out stadium tours including headlining three times at Wembley stadium. They have influenced bands as diverse as current favourites Bloc Party, Muse, as well as Moby, Manic Street Preachers and the Klaxons along the way. “We are delighted to announce these six rare UK concerts,” says lead singer and founding member, Jim Kerr. “The concerts will reflect our entire musical journey from day one to the current phase of creativity and without doubt will also conjure up all the energy, atmosphere and passion that for many is symbolic of Simple Minds shows over the last 30 years.” “There is no better way of announcing to the world,” adds Kerr, “that Simple Minds continues to embrace an uplifting musical spirit and enthusiasm that that defined our best work. We are really looking forward to these concerts and celebrating 30 years of musical history with the fans.” TravelBy Road: The Wembley complex is located just off the A406 North Circular Road within easy reach of central London and the rest of the country, with major motorways connecting nearby.From the North M1/A1 > A406 > A404 From the East M11 > M25 (J23) > A1 > A41 > A406 > A404 From the South M25 (J8) > A217 > A240 > A24 > A3 > A306 >A205 > A406 > A404 From the West M4 > A312 > A40 > A406 > A404 By Underground:Closest station is Wembley Park Station (Metropolitan & Jubilee lines) – 8 minutes on foot from the venue.
