Don’t You Forget About Me: Simple Minds Lead Star-Studded Lineup in Cornwall

Cornwall’s The Wyldes to Host Iconic Simple Minds with Stellar Support Line-Up.

In what promises to be one of the most anticipated musical events of the year, rock legends Simple Minds are set to headline a unique concert at The Wyldes in Cornwall on Saturday, 22 June 2024. This marks their first performance in Cornwall in 40 years, a return that is stirring excitement among fans and music enthusiasts alike.

Legendary Line-Up

Simple Minds continue to ride high with a world tour that has already seen sold-out arenas and critical acclaim, underscoring their status as a top act in the rock music scene. Joining them at The Wyldes will be a mix of seasoned rockers and contemporary talents, crafting an evening that spans generations and genres.

Direct support for the evening comes from fellow Scottish band Del Amitri, known for their hit singles such as ‘Roll To Me’ and ‘Nothing Ever Happens’. They bring their classic sound to Cornwall, along with fresh tunes from their latest album, Fatal Mistakes.

Fresh Faces and Nostalgic Sounds

Adding to the night’s vibrancy will be Coach Party, a female-fronted group celebrated for their dynamic indie rock style, which has been lauded by NME. Their music, inspired by icons like Nirvana and The Strokes, promises to resonate with both new listeners and long-time rock fans.

CVC, short for Church Village Collective, will set the early evening mood with their ‘psych-pop’ sound, perfect for The Wyldes’ scenic, outdoor atmosphere. Their style, which brings to mind the golden hues of 60s summers, is sure to charm the audience as the sun sets.

Local Flavour

Kicking off the festivities will be Cornwall’s own Bailey Tomkinson & The Locals, blending folk, pop, and rock to showcase the best of British music. Their sound proves that the UK’s country music scene is alive, thriving, and capable of capturing hearts globally.

More Than Music

The Wyldes offers more than just a concert; it provides a complete festival experience. With a variety of food vendors, bars, and camping options, including glamping and premium camping (most of which are already sold out), attendees are in for a full day and night of enjoyment. An afterparty will keep the festive spirit alive, ideal for those looking to extend their experience beyond the final note.

Tickets Selling Fast

Despite the availability of tickets, sales are brisk, and a sell-out crowd is anticipated. Prospective concert-goers are encouraged to act quickly to secure their spots for this unforgettable musical showcase.
