Simple Minds For Europe

As it turns out, Simple Minds will not only play Germany but will cover the country with gigs in 12 cities.  The United Kingdom will also get a hefty dose of Simple Minds when the band begins that portion of the tour in late March and keeps on rockin’ the U.K. through May.

All those shows should help boost sales of the new album.  Big Music, Simple Minds’ first LP of new material in more than five years, drops Nov. 3.
