Frontier Touring is delighted to welcome seminal Scottish band Simple Minds back to Christchurch in December 2021 as part of their 40 Years Of Hits Tour. They’ll be joined by special guests Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD), who will be touring New Zealand for the first time in more than 30 years.

Never ones to rest on their laurels, their shows only get better as time goes on: “I’m grateful for the career we’ve had,” says Kerr, “but I’m mad enough to think we can still hit new levels.”

Simple Minds have sold more than 60 million albums over the last four decades, taking their rightful place as one of the great bands of their generation. Riding the wave of the post-punk era and taking cues from art-rock and early dance music, they deployed rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that endures around the world today.

Don’t miss out on your chance to see a truly monumental 40th-anniversary performance from one of the most consistently excellent bands Scotland has ever produced, Simple Minds.
