Simple Minds are set to tour Australia in 2027 with Gary Numan, following announcements of a new album featuring CHVRCHES' Iain Cook, and a performance at Radio 2 in the Park alongside Chaka Khan. The band's political activism, highlighted by their song 'Mandela Day,' and their progressive rock roots continue to shape their legacy. Frontman Jim Kerr is also celebrating his birthday amid renewed attention on the band's career and musical evolution.
