Simple Minds were the standard bearers for a new kind of rock music in the 1980s. And now, almost three-and-a-half decades on from their first real landmark album – 1980’s thrilling, impressionistic Empires And Dance – the Glasgow quintet, with frontman Kerr and guitarist Burchill at their creative core, are rekindling the energy and attitude, the mystery and magic, that made them one of the greatest bands on the planet. Fresh from their renaissance and rightful reappraisal, Simple Minds will be releasing BIG MUSIC, their first album of new material in five years on November 3rd and will also be embarking on a major tour in 2015, including an exclusive performance (150 mins with a 20 mins break) at the Rockhal !
