Simple Minds already was planning to mount the band’s most extensive North American tour in 30 years this fall, and today extended that trek into November by adding seven more concerts in Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Tickets for the new shows on sale Friday.
The tour — the band’s first since a seven-date run in 2013 — opens Sept. 24 in Bethlehem, Pa., and now runs through Nov. 11 in Orlando, Fla. All told, the trek includes 27 dates in the U.S. and four in Canada.
The band, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, promises to play two full sets each night “featuring iconic songs spanning their whole career and including tracks from the new album Walk Between Worlds.”
Having released their first album in four years, earlier this year, Simple Minds currently have dates scheduled in the U.K. in August and September with The Pretenders. The North American tour will be the band’s most extensive since 1985’s Once Upon a Time trek.
