Simply Red - 40th Anniversary Tour

Prepare to celebrate the extraordinary legacy of one of the UK’s most beloved bands.

Simply Red, the iconic soul and pop group, are marking their upcoming 40th anniversary with the announcement of a very special UK arena tour in September and October 2025. The tour will conclude with two unforgettable nights at London’s O2 Arena on October 9th and 10th, 2025.

Formed by Mick Hucknall in 1985 in working-class Manchester, Simply Red quickly found success with their debut single, "Money’s Too Tight To Mention," and the Brit Award-nominated album Picture Book—the first of 13 nominations and 3 Brit Award wins. The following decade brought global stardom and numerous hits. Even today, Simply Red continues to sell out shows worldwide, with their live performances renowned for exceptional quality, and Mick Hucknall recognized as one of contemporary music's finest vocalists.

To commemorate their impressive 40-year journey, Simply Red will hit the road once again in 2025, celebrating their musical legacy from Picture Book to Time and everything in between.
