Glaswegian rockers Simple Minds are back in Glasgow with a very rare gig in their home town, for one night only!
Simple Minds are pleased to announce a very rare and exciting opportunity to see them perform material from their first five albums. They will play at just four intimate UK venues, which includes the Glasgow Barrowland.
These landmark shows, lasting over two and half hours, will feature the band exclusively playing five songs from each of their first five albums – Life In A Day, Real To Real Cacophony, Empires and Dance, Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Calling and New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84)
These five albums have had a massive cultural impact from the time of their release, making them five of the most vital albums of the post-punk period and the last 35 years. “This is the set that so many who appreciate Simple Minds have been begging us to play and finally this is that one-off chance to see it.” – Jim Kerr.
Expect mass sing-alongs and passionate performances at these dates. Don’t miss out, get your Simple Minds tickets before it’s too late!

Simple Minds, the Glaswegian rock stalwarts have been making brilliant anthemic music for three decades.
Simple Minds had their greatest worldwide popularity from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The band, from the south side of Glasgow, produced a handful of critically acclaimed albums in the early 1980s, and later went on to produce some politically inspired and critically praised work.
Simple Minds have secured a string of successful hit singles. Their best known hit may be their no. 1 worldwide hit single ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ in 1985, from the soundtrack of the classic 80′s John Hughes movie, The Breakfast Club. But they have accumulated an extensive and formidable back catalogue of rock anthems in the years since. In fact, Simple Minds have sold more than 40 millions albums worldwide since 1979.
Founding members Jim Kerr (vocals) and Charlie Burchill (guitar, keyboards), along with drummer Mel Gaynor, are the core of the band, which currently features Andy Gillespie on keyboards and Eddie Duffy on bass guitar.
