Don’t You Forget About Them: Simple Minds Drop New Single ‘Elysium’ — and Play Tonight
The band behind “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” is back with new music — and they’re playing tonight.
Simple Minds released “Elysium” on Friday, November 13, the second single from their 20th studio album, Sacrosanct, due January 29, 2027. The track opens the album, takes its name from the paradise of Greek myth, and reaches back to the band’s post-punk roots — inspired by Magazine’s 1978 track “The Light Pours Out of Me.”
The ’80s icons play the Darker Waves Festival in Huntington Beach TODAY, Saturday, November 14, and launch their biggest-ever arena tour in February 2027, with Gary Numan guesting on the UK leg.
