Simple Minds bring their V Tour 2027 to Sydney this February, celebrating five decades of music with a major arena show at Qudos Bank Arena.
Few bands carry the sound of an era quite like Simple Minds. Since the release of their debut album Life in a Day, the Scottish band has built a career around expansive sound, anthemic choruses and songs that still feel instantly familiar decades later.
Their catalogue includes some of the most recognisable tracks of the 1980s and beyond, from “Alive and Kicking” and “Promised You a Miracle” to “Waterfront”, “Belfast Child”, “Sanctify Yourself” and the enduring global hit “Don’t You (Forget About Me)”. With more than 60 million albums sold worldwide, Simple Minds remain one of the great live bands of their generation.
Joining the Sydney show is very special guest Gary Numan, returning to Australia for his first tour in more than a decade. Together, it makes for a night built on legacy, atmosphere and the kind of songs that have travelled across generations.
