AUCKLAND

THIS coming Tuesday March 30 at THE CIVIC, Auckland
With support from Danny McCrum.

In an enduring career of 30 years and with worldwide album sales of over 40
million, Simple Minds have come a long way from their home town of Glasgow.
They evolved from a post-punk art rock band influenced by Roxy Music into a
grand epic-sounding stadium band along the lines of U2.
Albums like New Gold Dream earmarked their arrival as one of the most
popular bands of the 80's and featured hit singles such as Glittering Prize
and Promised You A Miracle whilst Sparkle In The Rain and Once Upon A Time
gave us anthems like Alive and Kicking, Waterfront and Don't You (Forget
About Me) - the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club movie.

Supporting Simple Minds is Auckland based Danny McCrum who has played with
acts such as Eric Clapton, Bryan Ferry, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, and Joan
Armatrading. Danny blends a mix of rock, pop, blues and funk to achieve a
distinctive quality sound.

Live in concert Simple Minds have few peers. Don't miss this chance to
re-experience all the best known hits of this incredible band, relive the
eighties and witness a whole new chapter in their illustrious career.

Tickets are available from www.buytickets.co.nz or 0800-BUYTICKETS. Doors
open at 6.30pm and the show starts at 7.30pm.
