"We’ve always wanted to be part of a great live band and share our music worldwide," says frontman Jim Kerr. "Live in the City of Diamonds captures that passion and excitement we feel every night on stage."

The album showcases powerful live versions of Simple Minds' most iconic songs, including their timeless hit "Don't You (Forget About Me)," which is now available on all streaming platforms.
