Simple Minds

We all know Simple Minds: the group had number-one records in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France and Spain and sold over 60 million albums over the years. In July of 1985, very few bands could compete in popularity after the legendary Philadelphia Live Aid concert. This group is without a doubt one the absolute classics of the 1980s music scene.

Simple Minds will perform at Porta Ferrada Festival in Barcelona as part of an exciting 40th-anniversary world tour, in support of a new compilation album 40: The Best of 1979-2019.

With original band leaders Jim Kerr & Charlie Burchill still at the helm, the group's experimentation in post-punk, new wave and synth-pop over the past four decades has made Simple Minds simply one thing: a defining element in pop music history.
