Simple Minds | Summer Live 2025

In the organizer's words:

With songs such as "Belfast Child", "Alive And Kicking", the worldwide hit "Don't You (Forget About Me)" and an unmistakable sound between rock, pop and wave, Simple Minds were one of the most successful bands of the 1980s and 1990s. During this time, they managed to reach number one in the British charts with five albums, which is still reflected in over 60 million records sold today. They celebrated their greatest success in Germany with their 1989 album "Street Fighting Years", which reached number 1 in the German album charts. After several nominations at the Brit Awards, the American Music Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards, Simple Minds won two Q Awards as "Best Live Act" (1991) and "Q Inspiration Award" (2014), as well as two ASCAP Pop Music Awards in 1986 and 1987 for "Most Performed Songs". Despite several changes of band members, founding members Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill have remained true to themselves for over 45 years, building on a discography of 20 albums that underpin the band's status quo.
