Simple Minds UK Tour Live 2027

Tuesday, May 11, 2027 - FIRST DIRECT BANK ARENA, Leeds

• Simple Minds
• Gary Numan

FIRST DIRECT BANK ARENA in Leeds hosts Simple Minds and Gary Numan on 11 May 2027, following the Motorpoint Arena date. Simple Minds steer the night with a set shaped by art rock ambition, electronic arrangements, glam rock colour and new wave drive. Gary Numan’s support appearance brings a distinct dark wave undercurrent, built from dense synth lines, electronic rock and broader electronica. Sitting in the heart of the tour schedule, this gig underlines the shared electronic spine running through both sets, while still drawing clear contrasts between Simple Minds’ widescreen rock and Numan’s shadowier, machine-led sound.
