Simple Minds tour dates 2026

Recent tour reviews

• I’ve loved Simple Minds for over 30 years, had Sister feelings call in vinyl & last nights show was a big deal for me, I still listen to them at work all the time.

  Loved the show! Good for them for being so generous with a 3 hour show! Got guitar picks from the band so I’m super excited.

  The drummer is a beast! All musicians were top! Had a blast & will always remember it.

• Had waited so many years to see Simple Minds, so was excited to see them at the SF Masonic. Venue was great, perfect sightlines from nearly every seat.

  Sadly, was soo, so disappointed that the drummer did not play original drum lines ("Promised You a Miracle" was really drab without its signature drumming), and most of the songs were just, well, flat. Don't think it was the acoustics in the venue, but rather a very muddy mix, and few songs had the clean/clear/punchy sound of the originals.

  Showman Jim Kerr was enjoying himself, and the backup singer was perfect, but we ended up leaving before New Gold Dream (my favorite), preferring to listen to it on Spotify so as not to hear an inert, live version...

• Just saw Simple Minds at the Beacon, NYC, 10/2/18. What a thrill!!! I had waited so long (too long) to see the group who I have LOVED since the early 1980's. They were FANTASTIC!!! They performed all of my favorites (Promised You a Miracle, Love Song, New Gold Dream 81,82,83,84 and many others). I was lucky to be in the 3rd row (wish I had purchased tix for the 1st row!), and could see how wonderful Jim Kerr was interacting with the audience.

  It is great to see when musicians actually show how they enjoy doing what they do and appreciate their fans.

  Although I am not so healthy, and my feet go painfully numb after a half hour of standing, I forced myself to stand and dance for the whole show. It was worth it!!

  I'm thinking of calling out sick tomorrow and going up to Boston to catch them again! Or maybe D.C. this weekend! I am so happy I got to have seen them now but I'm also sad because I don't know when it will happen again. I really hope they return to NYC again soon, or that I will be in Europe whenever they are touring again.
