HAILED as one of the best "live" rock n' roll bands in the world, Simple Minds are pleased to announce a Belfast date for their forthcoming Graffiti Soul World Tour at the Odyssey Arena on December 10.
Very special guests will be OMD.
"Particularly in these times it is vitally important for us to give as much value to our audience as possible,” says Jim Kerr, lead singer and founding member of Simple Minds.
He added: "Playing a full set of hits and other surprises, I know that OMD will contribute so much towards making each of these shows into memorable events!" Between them both, Simple Minds and OMD have sold 75 million albums worldwide as well as chalking up over 40 hit singles.
The UK & Ireland concerts will dovetail the highly anticipated release of Simple Minds’ 15th studio album Graffiti Soul, released on May 25.
“Graffiti Soul is one of our most powerful albums to date,” says Kerr. “The new songs have an undeniable rock and roll edge and immediacy to them and we can’t wait to perform them live.”
Tickets for Simple Minds' Belfast show are now on sale from the Odyssey Arena Box Office on 9073 9074 and from all usual Ticketmaster outlets.
