Ten years in the cold is enough. Time to warm up and rock out the stadiums. Scottish stadium rockers Simple Minds have turned out to be one of the comeback stories of the year, selling out arenas and winning new fans with its acclaimed album Black And White 050505.
Maybe Coldplay is the stadium standard these days for the super-size anthem.
But take nothing away from Simple Minds' frontman Jim Kerr who can still hit the mark with those emotive highs and of course, sidekick Charlie Burchill who remains the devil of the soaring guitar.For those wanting a slice of Simple Minds in the raw, the Glasgow-raised band is set to plug in a concert at Fort Canning Park in Singapore on April 30. Packed with potential crowd-pleasers, this tour sees classics from the New Gold Dream-era unleashed as well new cuts like Home and Sparkle in the Rain.
As one of the great bands of the past 30 years, you can’t forget the big hit – Don’t You (Forget about Me) still ringing in the hearts of long standing fans.
