Simple Minds And Ultravox To Perform Four UK Arena Shows In November & Tickets
Tuesday, 19 March 2013
Written by Jon Stickler
Preparing to hit the road later this month for their mammoth spring UK tour, Simple Minds have today confirmed four special UK arena shows in November, including the O2 in London. Special guests on these new dates will be Ultravox.
Simple Minds are one of the UK's most successful rock groups to date. Having topped America's Billboard chart, the Glasgow band have achieved six Number 1 albums in the UK as well hitting the top spot in countless other territories including Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. The band will release their 'Celebrate – Greatest Hits +' on Monday 25th March.
Meanwhile Ultravox returned last year with 'Brilliant' their first studio album in 28 years featuring the classic line up Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross and Warren Cann.
Emerging from the new wave and electro scenes of the late 70's, Ultravox fashioned a form of electronic rock music that delivered massive hits through the 1980's such as 'Hymn', 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes', 'The Voice', 'Reap The Wild Wind', 'Love's Great Adventure', 'We Came To Dance' and of course the timeless and atmospheric 'Vienna'.
