One of the most successful and iconic UK bands of all time, the 60 million-selling, international chart-toppers SIMPLE MINDS are the latest act lined up to headline the Nocturne Live concert series this summer.

Fronted by founder members Jim Kerr (vocals) and Charlie Burchill (guitar), the band are currently celebrating 40 years in music and will perform a greatest hits set at Blenheim Palace featuring a selection of their best-known songs including ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’, ‘Alive And Kicking’ and ‘Sanctify Yourself’.

Support will come from fellow Scottish pop-rock band DEACON BLUE, who enjoyed widespread success throughout the 1980s and ‘90s selling over 7 million albums and notching up fourteen UK Top 40 singles and two UK number one albums along the way.
