Tickets go on pre-sale to SimpleMinds.com members this morning and general sale on Friday.

So Derek - are you involved? I do hope so!! I can't see how it can be a true celebration without you and Mick!

Jim and I are doing Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow up to now. I cannae wait!

Celebrate 30 years of Simple Minds without Derek, Mick and Brian. Simple Minds wasn't about just Jim and Charlie.

Shitoffastick? Laughing

Tabs....

Tabs, I guess until they step out on stage we won't know who will be in the line up. Could even be that Jim McDermott guy on drums, who knows?

I just thought they might have Mick and Derek just play the NGD set. but I'm sure I'll know what Derek's answer will be to that already! lol

It's weird because it's not a full on tour, but just a week of gigs.
So why not? A full celebration of the band not just the music.
Swallow pride and lets have the fans buzzing when they leave the arenas.
