Simple Minds Announce Summer Show At Custom House Square In Belfast

Simple Minds have lined up a summer show in Belfast.
The Scottish new wave legends will take their 40th anniversary celebrations to Custom House Square on August 23, with tickets for the show on sale now.
The performance will follow their previously announced spring shows in the UK and Europe, as well as a handful of dates in the summer. Vocalist Jim Kerr said:
"We’ll play two sets. It has to be that bit special so we’re putting a lot of thought into that now. You’ll hear all the classics, and all the big songs. And for the hard core we'll be playing songs that we haven’t played for the longest time.
"Simple Minds are different now. We’re not a stock rock band, but we haven’t changed our line-up to be cool. We’ve done it because it’s great to have so many amazing players on board. I’m grateful for the career we’ve had, but I’m mad enough to think we can still hit new levels. This is what we do – write, record and play live."
Last year, the band released a greatest hits compilation album, ‘40: The Best Of - 1979-2019’, and live album, 'Live In The City Of Angels'.
