Simple Minds are returning to stages across the UK and Ireland for the spring 2024 leg of their ‘Global Tour’.
Following the huge success of 2022’s ‘40 Years Of Hits Tour’ and the band’s recent Top 10 LP, ‘Direction Of The Heart’, the group will play a run of arena dates launching March 15 in Leeds and playing through March 29 in Glasgow.
“Concerts are the lifeblood of Simple Minds, it’s where we and our audience come alive and energised through music,” says frontman Jim Kerr. “Four decades on from when we first set out, this global tour will demonstrate that Simple Minds are still alive and kicking!”
Simple Minds are thrilled to announce the UK & Irish leg of their 2024 Global Tour with special guests Del Amitri! More shows throughout the rest of the world will be announced soon.
