Simple Minds to play at the O2 Arena in London
One of the UK’s most successful rock groups, Simple Minds will be playing at The O2 Arena on Saturday 30th November 2013.
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. The band will release their Celebrate – Greatest Hits + on 25th March.
Simple Minds are also arguably one of the best live bands in the world and over a thirty year career have been responsible for some of the most innovative and enduring anthems in rock music.
Meanwhile Ultravox returned last year with Brilliant, their first studio album in 28 years featuring the classic line up Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross and Warren Cann.
Emerging from the new wave and electro scenes of the late 70s, Ultravox fashioned a form of electronic rock music that was uniquely powerful and delivered massive hits through the 80s such as Hymn, Dancing With Tears in My Eyes, The Voice, Reap the Wild Wind, Love’s Great Adventure, We Came to Dance and of course the timeless and atmospheric Vienna.
Ultravox’s latest album not only shows what a prescient reminder of how great this reborn band are, but is an exciting and vital addition to an extraordinary catalogue of music which today sounds more current and influential than ever.
Expect to hear songs from both bands extensive back catalogues including Alive and Kicking, Don’t You (Forget About Me),Waterfront, Vienna and more.
