Simple Minds bring their V Tour 2027 to Australia, marking five decades of music. The programme draws on a catalogue including “Alive and Kicking,” “Promised You A Miracle,” “Waterfront,” “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” “Belfast Child,” “Sanctify Yourself,” “She’s a River,” and “Let There Be Love.” Gary Numan joins as special guest, on his first Australian tour in more than a decade. His set is framed around the electronic-music innovator’s work, including “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” and “Cars,” alongside his characteristic brooding atmospheres and driving beats.
