Scottish band Simple Minds are set to hit the stage at Christchurch's Wolfbrook Arena on March 1 next year.
Simple Minds was one of the biggest bands of the 1980s, rising to fame with hits like Alive and Kicking, Belfast Child, Promised You a Miracle, Sanctify Yourself, and Don’t You (Forget About Me).
Don’t You (Forget about Me) recently joined the prestigious Spotify Billions Club.
Their V Tour 2027 will include stop offs in Wellington and Auckland, plus several Australia dates.
The band will be joined by special guest, electro-pop pioneer Gary Numan, on all the tour dates.
Said frontman Jim Kerr: "Simple Minds go back a long way with Australia and New Zealand, the thrill of performing for our fans down there never wears off."
A press release about the upcoming tour states it "promises a panoramic live music experience, an all-encompassing celebration of music across five decades from a band who have not only managed to remain relevant to each new generation, but continue to shape and perform with the same energy that has defined their career".
- Presale tickets will be available on June 18, with general release tickets on sale from June 19.
