Simple Minds have announced a rare and exciting gig which will give fans the chance to see them perform material from their first five albums at four intimate UK venues, in February and March 2012.
The landmark shows, lasting over two and half hours, will be part of a 16-date European tour beginning in Portugal on 14th February with the first UK shows taking place at Birmingham Academy and in the band’s hometown of Glasgow, at Barrowland, on 24th and 25th February respectively, with the final two shows at London’s Roundhouse on 3rd March and the Manchester Ritz the following evening.
The band will exclusively play 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)', which celebrates its 30th anniversary next year – which were released in the period from 1979 to 1982.
These five albums have had a massive cultural impact from the time of their release during the birth of the new wave electro scene in the late 1970s, through the dance revolution of the ‘80s and ‘90s, to the music of the Manic Street Preachers and the recent sound of The Horrors’ 'Skying' album.
