Australia was the first country in the world to embrace Simple Minds, giving the band its first ever hit single Love Song and first Gold album New Gold Dream. The love affair has continued ever since through countless chart-toppers like Don’t You (Forget About Me), Alive and Kicking, Promised You A Miracle, Glittering Prize and Waterfront spanning eight Top 20 albums and hugely successful concert tours.
It’s been said Simple Minds has a love affair with Australia and I think that’s true. It was the first country anywhere in the world to give us success and from our very first tours, we’ve always had a wonderful bond with Australian audiences. We have so many fantastic memories and can’t wait to be playing there again.

SIMPLE MINDS – ALIVE AND KICKING (LIVE)
When the B-52s – Fred Schneider, Cindy Wilson, Kate Pierson and Keith Strickland – toured Australia for a day on the green in 2009, the response was over-the-top! Irreverent and hugely entertaining, the band’s cosmic appeal was irresistible.
