Thu Oct 11 2012

Jim Kerr and co return to play bombastic, thunderous, synth-heavy classics like '(Don't You) Forget About Me' and 'Alive and Kicking'. The highlight, though, is always be their gleaming, sophisticated early material, which brilliantly trod the line between post-punk and synthpop, and which they've been (to quote the title of their new best-of) 'Celebrate'-ing much more in recent years.

Simple Minds 2013

Date Time Price information
Sat Nov 30

18:00

£39.50-£55
Simple Minds + Ultravox
Supporting them are another band who ran the gamut from new-wave innovation to bloated new romanticisms back in the day: Ultravox. They're performing as the 'classic' line-up, which notably doesn't feature original singer John Foxx.
