Simple Minds bringing greatest hits to Wolverhampton Civic Hall

80s superstars Simple Minds are to bring their anthemic sounds to Wolverhampton with their Greatest Hits Live tour next March.

Published

Following a summer of festival appearances and their hugely acclaimed 5X5 tour, Simple Minds will play Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Saturday, April 6, 2013.

Tickets, priced £49.50 and £37.50 plus fees go on sale at 10am on Friday, October 26.

Having topped America's Billboard chart, the Glasgow band have achieved six No.1 albums in the UK as well hitting the top spot in countless other territories including Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.

Simple Minds are also arguably one of the best live bands in the world and over a 30-year career have been responsible for some of the most innovative and enduring anthems in rock music.

Expect to hear songs from their extensive back catalogue including Alive and Kicking, Don't You (Forget About Me), Waterfront and more.

The show will be in two halves with an interval and no support - a whole evening of Simple Minds, who will be releasing a new greatest hits collection, Celebrate in March to co-inside with the tour. The album will include two new songs.

Singer Jimm Kerr says: "When we started Simple Minds, our objective was to be considered as one of the great live bands; a band that had the desire to go all around the world - playing everywhere and anywhere.

"That challenge is ongoing and we will relish touring the UK next spring, getting up close to so many who have supported us over the last three decades and more."
