Says a spokesperson for T On The Fringe: “It seems fitting that one of Scotland’s biggest exports should perform to a truly international audience at this year’s T On The Fringe Festival. To have Simple Minds perform at the festival, which is now in its seventh year, will be a major highlight for what’s shaping up to be a fantastic summer of music.”
