Scottish rock band Simple Minds is returning to Blickling Hall for an outdoor gig this summer.

The, group fronted by Jim Kerr, appeared at the National Trust stately home in 2004 and are booked to reappear on Friday July 14 this year.

It is the latest concert to be announced at the lakeside setting, and will be the evening before a 1980s party style event featuring a string of acts including Marc Almond, ABC, Kid Creole, and the Three Degrees.

Simple Minds found chart fame in Britain and America with Don't You Forget About Me in 1985, and a follow-up UK number one with Belfast Child four years later.

They have clocked up more than 30 million sales of albums, five of which entered the UK charts at number one.
