Simple Minds have announced a new live album that will arrive in April. The band has also announced a North American tour.
Live in the City of Diamonds, the new double live album, will drop via BMG on Friday, April 25.
The live album was recorded last April at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome as part of the legendary U.K. band's epic Global Tour 2024.
Live in the City of Diamonds will be available in a variety of formats, including digitally, 2x clear/glitter and standard black vinyl LP (with 18 tracks, housed in gatefold sleeve with hi-spec finish), and 2xCD (with 24 tracks and 24-page Media Book featuring exclusive photos and tour notes).
"All we wanted was to be in 'a great live band' and to spend our lives taking our music with us around the world," says Simple Minds co-founder and frontman Jim Kerr. "Decades later we still relish that challenge every night on tour. Live In The City of Diamonds captures both the spirit and fever of Simple Minds live at this moment in time."
Simple Minds' Alive & Kicking tour, featuring special guests Soft Cell and Modern English, will kick off on May 16 in Ridgefield, Washington.
