SIMPLE MINDS - BROKEN GLASS PARK
RELEASE DATE MARCH 25TH

Broken Glass Park is the brand new single from Simple Minds. Following the success and acclaim of last year's X5 boxset and the 5X5 tour, Virgin Records will release Celebrate: Greatest Hits + collection, a comprehensive overview of 35 years of one of Britain's most successful bands, taking in the innovative sheen of Promised You A Miracle and Glittering Prize, the anthemic sweep of Waterfront and Sanctify Yourself, the firebrand strand of Belfast Child and Mandela Day and the singalong wonder of Don't You (Forget About Me) and Alive & Kicking, and bringing things right up to date with the inclusion of two new tracks: Broken Glass Park and Blood Diamonds.

Simple Minds are one of the UK's most successful bands, having achieved six No. 1 albums in the UK as well as hitting the top spot in coutless other territories including Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. Simple Minds are also argueably one of the best live bands in the world. On their extensive upcoming sold-out 28-date March and April UK tour - taking place in just 33 days - expect to hear songs from Celebrate... and the band's extensive back catalogue. The show will be in two halves with an interval and no support - a whole evenign of Simple Minds.
