Overview
Simple Minds, the Glasgow new wave and alternative rock group, play Leeds First Direct Bank Arena on this visit to the city, with Gary Numan on the bill.
Simple Minds were formed in Glasgow in 1977 around singer Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill. Signed to Virgin Records, the group released Life in a Day in 1979, the start of a career that moved from the post-punk and new wave of their early years towards a broader alternative rock sound.
Gary Numan is a British electronic and new wave musician, active since 1975. His debut album, The Pleasure Principle, was released on Beggars Banquet Records in 1979, and his work has been a reference point for synthesiser-led pop and rock since then.
Leeds First Direct Bank Arena hosts concerts and shows in Leeds, and this event is part of its programme of live music. The evening suits listeners interested in the new wave and alternative rock of the late 1970s and 1980s, as well as anyone following either act's later work.
