Best known for their famous single ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ released in 1985, Simple Minds were set to begin their world tour this summer. However, due to the current pandemic the tour celebrating 40 years of music has had to be postponed to 2021.
UK fans were expecting to see the iconic band this August, but have now been informed of the rescheduled dates that will take place in February and August 2021. Luckily enough for fans, there has been no cancellation of any venues so all original tickets will still be valid for next year’s shows. The band have kept their followers posted through their official website and Facebook page, which announced the rescheduled dates for the UK last Friday.
The worldwide tour is set to include the rock band’s best hits from 1979-2019, acting as a time machine for those who have followed their music from the very start. There have been a number of performances and events which have been cancelled or postponed due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Fortunately for Simple Minds fans, although slightly later than expected, they are still able to see the band perform next summer.
Like most of us, the band are trying their best to keep busy during this time and are finding new ways to interact with their followers. Lead singer of Simple Minds, Jim Kerr, has put together his own Spotify playlist for the month of June. The singer-songwriter has compiled a list of songs for this month and has shared why he has chosen these particular tracks to feature.
