Simply Red

The iconic soul and pop band Simply Red have announced the European leg of their 40th Anniversary Tour in October and November 2025!

Few bands have achieved as much success and longevity as Simply Red. With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK number-one albums, 2 billion streams across global streaming platforms, and more than 1 million YouTube subscribers, Simply Red remains one of the most successful and beloved bands in Britain. Their classic album "Stars" from 1991 was the best-selling album in the UK and Europe for two consecutive years, and all 13 of Simply Red's studio albums, including their latest release "Time", have reached the UK Top 10.

Mick Hucknall founded Simply Red in 1985 in Manchester and enjoyed early success with the debut single “Money’s Too Tight (To Mention)” and the album "Picture Book". This was followed by a decade of superstardom and global hits. Today, Simply Red continues to tour the world with sold-out shows. Their live performances are renowned for their exceptional quality, and Mick Hucknall has long been recognized as one of the great vocalists of contemporary music.

To celebrate this impressive 40-year milestone, Simply Red will be touring again, showcasing the musical journey of Simply Red — from "Picture Book" to "Time"and everything in between.
