Simple Minds

Today, Simple Minds have announced their latest tour, with a huge stop here at Manchester's Co-op Live.

Last year alone they played in front of over 1.5m people and some of their biggest audiences since 1985, on their hugely successful Global Tour. It was during this remarkable period, on a high from touring, they began to craft and record their new album.  

The Simple Minds V Tour 2027 promises a panoramic live music experience, an all-encompassing celebration of music across 5 decades from a band who have not only managed to remain relevant to each new generation, but continue to shape and perform with the same energy that has defined their career.

Special Guest Gary Numan
