Simple Minds have announced a 'Greatest Hits Forest Tour' for next summer, playing a series of dates in spectacular woodland locations as part of Forestry Commission Live Music.
Classic songs like 'Alive and Kicking’, 'Sanctify Yourself', 'Don't You (Forget About Me)’, 'Promised You A Miracle', 'Waterfront' and 'Belfast Child' established Simple Minds with a global audience with a run of No 1 albums including 'Sparkle In the Rain', 'Once Upon A Time' and 'Street Fighting Years', propelling them to supergroup status in the UK. A new album from Simple Minds is set for release in Spring 2011.
Money generated by Forestry Commission Live Music ticket sales is spent directly on the nation’s woodlands, benefiting everything from butterflies to mountain bikers.
Commenting on the tour, Jim Kerr for Simple Minds said, "We've never done the forest gigs before so we are really looking forward to performing in such beautiful places."
Special guest support for all dates will be Starsailor front man James Walsh.
