Since forming in 1977 Simple Minds have had 6 UK number one albums making them one of the most successful Scottish bands... ever! Their astounding live shows have won them huge critical acclaim across the world, and their first appearance at this year's Isle of Wight Festival is set to be as epic as ever. Renowned for their number one hits such as 'Alive and Kicking', they first hit the top spot with the album 'Sparkle in the Rain' paving the way to rock royalty. Their 15th studio album 'Graffiti Soul' is due for release in May and will see the band return on fine form.

"We are very excited about playing the Isle of Wight," says Jim Kerr. "This is the first time Simple Minds have played the festival, so as you can imagine, we're really looking forward to it. We'll be performing songs from our new 'Graffiti Soul' album and some classics gems."
