Simple Minds Will Be at the World Cup

Singer Jim Kerr is doing a concert in Berlin on June 7.

The group’s publicist is not at all surprised to see the group participating in the festivities. "Simple Minds are football mad, so this will be the best gig in the world for them.  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."
