Simple Minds @ Citadel Music Festival

As one of the most successful pop bands of their generation, the SIMPLE MINDS celebrated their 30th stage anniversary in 2008 with six exclusive UK concerts and now come on tour with a huge ‘Best OF’ program with a cross section of the albums ‘New Gold Dream’ (1982) with hits like ‘Promised you a miracle’, ‘Glittering Price’, ‘Someone, Somewhere (In Summertime)’ followed by hits from the albums ‘Life in a Day’ (1979), ‘Reel to Reel Cacophony’ (1979), ‘Empires and Dances’ (1980) as well as ‘Sons & Fascination’ (1980) with the hit ‘Love Song’. More highlights of the set are the hits from the albums ’Sparkle in the Rain’ (1984) like ‘Waterfront’ and ‘Up on the Catwalk’, their hit single ‘(Don’t You) Forget about me’ being #1 in the US in 1985, and the album ‘Once Upon A Time’ with the unforgettable anthem ‘Alive and Kicking’.

As if that weren’t enough, the legendary ‘Belfast Child’ from the 1989 album ‘Street Fighting Years’ is on the agenda which is going all the way to the sensational 2004 comeback ‘Black & White 050505’ with the hits ‘Home’ and ‘Stranger’. Furthermore, a new studio album is going to be released in spring which will orient itself on the original band sound and come up with a few surprise guests as well. During their career, spanning three decades altogether they’ve produced over 20 Top 20 hits, sold over 35 million albums, released 5 #1 albums, as well as three Top Ten singles and the #1 single ‘(Don’t You) Forget about me’ in the US and have been elected ‘World’s Best Live Act’ by Q magazine.
