26 May '06 - 133 W - + 4 - 11 Simple Minds Headline World Cup

Simple Minds are set to kick-off the World Cup at a massive party in Berlin. The Scots rockers will headline at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate on June 7th - two days before the first match. The German capital is throwing a party to start a month-long cultural festival that runs alongside the World Cup. "Simple Minds are football mad, so this will be the best gig in the world for them," says a spokesperson for the band. "It comes at a great time in the band's career - they will also be performing a series of outdoor music festivals all over Europe this summer." The band will perform their classic song Don't You (Forget About Me), as well as Home, from last year's critically acclaimed album Black & White 050505.
