Simple Minds will release, “Live in the City of Diamonds“, a new live album, in April. The performance was recorded at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome, and songs include ‘Waterfront’, ‘Love Song’, ‘New Gold Dream’, ‘Promised You A Miracle’, ‘Someone Somewhere (In Summertime)’, ‘Alive and Kicking’, ‘Sanctify Yourself’ and, inevitably, ‘(Don’t You) Forget About Me’.
The new album “Live in The City of Diamonds”, out April 25th 2025. Listen to the first track ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ now.
Recorded at a sold-out Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, this release captures the band on stage in front of 17,000 people and completes the triptych of the Live in The City series dating back to 1987.
“All we wanted was to be in ‘a great live band’ and to spend our lives taking our music with us around the world. 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.” – Jim Kerr
This release is available as a 2CD set in deluxe hardcover ‘mediabook’ packaging (24 tracks) or as a 2LP vinyl package (black and ‘clear-with-glitter’ options) which has 18 tracks.
“Live in the City of Diamonds” will be released on 25 April 2025, via BMG.
