Simple Minds have announced a new live double-album, ‘Live In The City Of Diamonds’, set for release on April 24 (pre-order/pre-save here).

The live double-album was recorded at the band’s sold-out concert at the Ziggo Dome arena in Amsterdam on April 6, 2024, as part of their epic Global Tour 2024.  Live In The City Of Diamonds features live renditions of Simple Minds’ 1985 hit single ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’, early tracks like ‘Love Song’, ‘Sons And Fascination’ and ‘Sweat In Bullet’, as well as cuts from the group’s era-defining 1982 album ‘New Gold Dream’.  In addition, the album is comprised of material from the band’s 1985 album ‘Once Upon A Time’, their 1989 #1 single ‘Belfast Child’ and songs from their 1991 LP ‘Real Life’ – including fan-favourite ‘See The Lights’.

The album will be available in a variety of formats, including digitally, double clear/glitter and standard black vinyl LP with 18 tracks, housed in gatefold sleeve with hi-spec finish, and 2 CD with 24 tracks and 24-page Media Book featuring exclusive photos and tour notes.
