When is Simple Minds playing Dublin and how can I get tickets?

Simple Minds have announced a Dublin gig to celebrate 40 years of the iconic band.

The Scottish hit makers will be playing 3Arena on April 22 next year as part of their huge world tour.

Tickets from €50.20 will go on sale this Friday from 9am and can be found online.

Band frontman Jim Kerr said: “Simple Minds are different now.

“We’re not a stock rock band, but we haven’t changed our line-up to be cool. We’ve done it because it’s great to have so many amazing players on board.

“I’m grateful for the career we’ve had, but I’m mad enough to think we can still hit new levels. This is what we do – write, record and play live.”

Simple Minds will also be releasing the career-spanning compilation '40: The Best Of – 1979-2019' on November 1.

The collection includes a gloriously euphoric new track - a cover of King Creosote’s celebration of weekend revelry 'For One Night Only' as well as their era-defining hits and recent material.
