NewsSimple Minds / Sacrosanct
New studio album
Simple Minds will release a brand new studio album, Sacrosanct, in January next year.
The 8-track album is an apparent retreat to the band’s art rock/new wave roots, but you can decide for yourself by listening to ‘Beginner Boys’ the first song which has been made available today.
Other tracks include opener ‘Elysium’, ‘King Of The Underworld’, and ‘Our Secrets Are The Same’ which “directly explores the lifelong bond between Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill”
We called the album Sacrosanct because after a lifetime of doing this — nearly fifty years of writing songs together — it’s stopped feeling like a career and started feeling like something closer to faith. Calling the record Sacrosanct isn’t an exaggeration. It’s just honest.

A deluxe ‘mediabook’ CD edition includes five bonus tracks (and gives away future ‘singles’) and there’s neon green and black vinyl variants as well. As well as offering ticket pre-sale access (see tour info below), the official store offers exclusive silver marbled vinyl and signed bundles.
Simple Minds have also announced the UK leg of their V Tour (dates in May next year) which will include special guest Gary Numan. They will also headline BBC Radio 2 In The Park which takes place in City Park in Stirling in 10 days, on 13 September.
Sacrosanct will be released on 29 January 2027 via BMG.
