Simple Minds

Simple Minds to Oslo Spektrum Friday, April 23, 2027 Simple Minds has announced that they will release their new album, "Sacrosanct," in January 2027. At the same time, the band is sharing the European dates of their "V Tour," which will visit Oslo Spektrum on Friday, April 23. The concert is part of their biggest arena tour to date, and joining them as special guests are none other than Level 42. With "Sacrosanct," which is set to be released on January 29, Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill continue a collaboration that now spans nearly five decades. The album features eight new songs, including the first single "Beginner Boys," and draws inspiration from the band's roots in art rock and new wave. In the four years since Simple Minds released "Direction Of The Heart" in 2022, the band has been busier than ever and has been hailed as one of the leading bands of their generation. After a series of sold-out concerts and an audience of over 1.5 million people just last year, the demand for Simple Minds is greater than it has been in a long time. Regarding the choice of album title, Kerr says: “We called the album Sacrosanct because after a lifetime of doing this — nearly fifty years of writing songs together — it’s stopped feeling like a career and started feeling like something closer to faith. Calling the record Sacrosanct isn’t an exaggeration. It’s just honest.” "Sacrosanct" is an artistic triumph and the third album in a significant trilogy alongside "Walk Between Worlds" and "Direction Of The Heart." “Making records and performing live is as much part of our lives now as when we started out. We feel grateful to those who support new music from Simple Minds and look forward to seeing you all on our upcoming world tour.” says Jim Kerr. “Simple Minds V Tour 2027” kicks off in Australia and New Zealand before coming to Europe in April and May. The tour promises a grand concert experience and an all-encompassing celebration of music spanning five decades, from a band that has not only managed to remain relevant to each new generation but still crafts and performs music with the same energy that has defined their career!
