Acoustic Tour

On 11th November Simple Minds will release Simple Minds Acoustic via Caroline International. To celebrate the album release Simple Minds will be taking to the road to perform their career spanning collection of songs acoustically for the very first time in May and June 2017 and will be joined by special guest The Anchoress.

This follows several years in which the band has gone from strength-to-strength, becoming more relevant than ever; their 2014 album BIG MUSIC received across the board praise, with MOJO magazine declaring it 'their best album in 30 years'. Simple Minds Acoustic continues the band’s artistic quest with a one-off album release of stripped down and re-imagined songs spanning their eclectic and illustrious career.

As a group who formed in the punk era and found their mojo through a shared love of Bowie, Kraftwerk and electronic dance, Simple Minds are not natural acoustic adventurers, but they have done a remarkable job here, adding fresh nuance to brilliant songs without trampling on sacred memories.

Simple Minds career has seen them be responsible for some of the most innovative and enduring anthems in rock music and are widely regarded as one of the best live bands in the world. On taking Simple Minds Acoustic on the road Jim Kerr says:
'The concert stage is where Simple Minds do their best work, it is where we forged our distinctive live reputation. For that reason we look forward immensely to taking Simple Minds Acoustic out on tour. Don't be fooled by the acoustic tag however! These shows will be as energetic and passionate as ever.'
