Simply Red - Tickets - Wien

Simply Red have been an integral part of the music world for more than 20 years. Founded by Mick Hucknall in 1984, the band soon released the single "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)", the song that was to become the first Simply Red hit in England. October 1985 saw the release of the debut album “Picture Book”. Featuring, among others, the famous ballad "Holding Back The Years", the album made them famous around the world overnight. Since then, Simply Red have recorded 10 albums and sold about 50 million records worldwide. In 2009, they will be finally live on tour again!

Their trademark mix of pop, soul and reggae turned the band into one of the most successful formations of the eighties and nineties. "Something Got Me Started", "Thrill Me", "Stars", "For Your Babies" and "Your Mirror" –  those are the names of the great singles from the album “Stars”, which Mick Hucknall composed almost all by himself and co-produced with Stewart Levine (The Crusaders, Sly Stone, Jamie Cullum, Lionel Richie). In 1991 and 1992, it also was the top-selling European album. The upcoming best of album gives a good review of their musical past: “The Greatest Hits 25" inarguably shows that Simply Red have written hit history.

The upcoming tour, which will bring Simply Red to Vienna on May 21st, 2009, could be one of the last opportunities to experience them live in concert – Mick Hucknall has already announced in 2007 that all band members will concentrate on solo projects after the 2009 tour. Reserve your tickets in time, because when they are gone, they are gone!
