    • ]]>     Scottish rockers Simple Minds have been busy recording in the studio for an upcoming 2009 release. As a matter of fact, the sessions have been so successful, lead singer Jim Kerr recently stated that they have enough material for two full albums at this point. But before releasing any new material, the group will head out on tour in the UK to celebrate their 30th anniversary. It’ll be a special series of dates since they’ll be performing their landmark 1982 album “New Gold Dream” in its entirety.

    Simple Minds 30th Anniversary Tour:
    November 27th – Manchester MEN Arena
    November 28th – Birmingham NEC
    November 29th – London Wembley Arena
    December 1st – Sheffield Arena
    December 2nd – Cardiff International Arena
    December 3rd – Newcastle Metro Arena
    December 4th – Glasgow SECC
    December 6th – Belfast Odyssey Arena

    The band’s lineup will include founding members Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill along with Mel Gaynor on drums, Eddy Duffy on bass and Andy Gillespie on keyboards.
