North America – Get Your Wallets Ready!

Posted on January 24, 2025January 24, 2025 By Priptona No Comments on North America – Get Your Wallets Ready!

I could be wrong, but for me the most telling clue is the date in US format, and the times being US timezone specific first, followed by GMT. I think this is a MAJOR hint that a North American tour announcement is imminent.

So, it’s Good News From The Old World for North America. More than that…I think the Alive and Kicking video COULD denote a 40th anniversary of Once Upon a Time – seeing as the album was Simple Minds breakthrough in the U.S., it only stands to reason they’d want to celebrate its anniversary by touring it across North America. Enjoy, guys! I’m sure most of you guys will love it over there and the 15 minute versions of Don’t You (Forget About Me) that will accompany it.

More details as they come…but I’ll eat my toenail clippings if North American dates aren’t announced on Monday…
