Simply Red return to Belfast next summer for outdoor concert

Author: Emma DicksonPublished 22nd Oct 2021

Simply Red, hailed as one of the most successful live acts ever to come out of the UK, have confirmed a return to Ireland to play two summer shows at Cork Live At The Marquee on 1 June and Live at Botanic Gardens in Belfast on 2 June 2022.

Tickets go on sale Thursday 28 October at 9am.

For 2022, the Band will be firing on all cylinders delivering their all-time classic hits from a stellar career, such as ‘Stars’, ‘Holding Back The Years’, ‘Fairground’ and ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’, as well as some raw and soulful new grooves.

Mick Hucknall can’t wait to get back onstage. “I’ve spent most of my life going out and singing for people, so it feels strange not to have that.” he said. “I miss being able to express myself. It’s going to be wonderfully inspiring when people can go and see bands again. I can’t wait.”

Simply Red have just released ‘Simply Red Remixed Vol. 1 (1985-2000)’ which features remixed versions of your favourite Simply Red tracks.
