ZAGREB, 28 May 2020 – Simple Minds have postponed their concert scheduled in Zagreb this summer.

“We will play two sets,” explained frontman Jim Kerr at the time the gig was announced. “The tour has to be special, so we a lot of thought into it. You will hear all the classics and all the great songs, and for hardcore fans, we will perform things we have not played in the longest time.”
