Ster-Kinekor is excited to announce that Simply Red’s spectacular performance from their recent 40th Anniversary Tour will be coming to select cinemas for two screenings only – on 15 and 18 May.
Holding Back The Years: 40 Years of Simply Red – Live from Santiago captures the band’s electrifying performance at the Movistar Arena in Chile, where they played five consecutive sold-out shows to rapturous audiences as part of their Latin American tour leg, which saw them perform to over 140,000 fans.
This special cinema event will give fans the opportunity to experience the energy and emotion of Simply Red’s 40th Anniversary Tour on the big screen. The concert film features stunning performances of their greatest hits and fan favourites spanning their entire career – from their 1985 critically acclaimed debut ‘Picture Book’ right through to their latest releases.
The concert film showcases why Simply Red remains one of the UK’s most successful and beloved bands, with Mick Hucknall demonstrating why he’s still considered one of the great vocalists in contemporary music. As the band continues their global tour throughout 2025, playing almost 50 arena shows including two nights at London’s O2 Arena and one night at Wembley Arena in October, this cinema event offers the perfect opportunity to celebrate the band’s remarkable 40-year journey.
