Back on the Main Stage at #Tribfest2018, we're pleased to announce Simple Minded will be returning on Sunday 19th August.
For the past five years Simple Minded have been thrilling audiences across the UK with their lively, exciting and authentic tribute to Scotland’s own Simple Minds. With highly accomplished musicians, the band recreate the original sounds and energy with breath-taking accuracy. Simple Minded pride themselves on delivering an entertaining show and giving the audience what they want; and that means the hits. Classics such as Don’t You Forget About Me, Alive and Kicking, Up on the Catwalk and Promised You a Miracle all feature in the set along with songs from the entire Simple Minds back-catalogue right back to 1979.
In recent years, the band have attracted accolades from current and former members of Simple Minds, and have even been joined by original band members onstage!
“I listened to the band and was well impressed”
Derek Forbes (original Bass player)
“Simple Minded are the best tribute band I’ve seen”
Brian McGee (original drummer)
“They sound like they did twenty years ago”.
Bruce Findlay (Manager)
The line-up of the band has never been stronger, nor has the excitement about performing the music been greater. George, Dave, Paul, Stevie and Stuart are all gearing up to take their show around the country, and promise their audience a fabulous night of Simple Minds’ greatest music.
