A Day On The Green prove they’re not quite finished with delivering huge lineups this year, with Simple Minds and The B-52s announced as their newest tour.
Not unfamiliar with Australian shores, Scotland’s Simple Minds and Athens, Georgia’s The B-52s are teaming up to provide audiences with unforgettable experiences in February, with a series of winery and headline shows being announced.
Simple Minds, widely regarded as a phenomenal live band, return to Australia after a four-year absence to promote their 16th album Big Music. Famous for tracks such as ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’, ‘Promised You A Miracle’, and ‘Love Song’, the band’s popular post-punk sound has long been favoured by local audiences, with Australia being one of the first countries to give the group success.
Likewise, The B-52s, having last toured with A Day On The Green in 2009, finally make a return to the country to appease a number of dedicated fans. With classic tracks such as ‘Rock Lobster’, ‘Roam’, and the staple of every decent party playlist, ‘Love Shack’, under their belt, audiences are undoubtedly set to see that the seven years between Australian shows was a worthwhile wait.
Joining the bands for their A Day On The Green shows are the iconic 80s stalwarts, Models and Machinations.
Coming out of hibernation for this tour, 2010 ARIA Hall Of Fame inductees Models are set to stun audiences with one of their famous live shows, while Machinations’ dance pop sensibilities are sure to get audiences moving early in the day.
