There will be a lot of fantastic concerts in Amsterdam in 2025. We all know that Imagine Dragons is coming to the city, but besides the popular American band, it might be that many consider the Simply Red concerts to be the highlight of the year in the Dutch capital. The American band was founded in 1985, and the music is a sweet mixture of pop, rock, and jazz. Would you like to be there at one of the Simply Red concerts in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam in 2025?
Mick Hucknall is the leader singer of Simply Red. He is well-known for his characteristic voice, but just as much for his red hair. The band quickly turned famous after releasing the first album named “Picture Book”, an album that also included their “Holding Back the Years.” Over the years, they have released many successful albums and songs, like “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” and “Stars.” Simply Red has won several music awards and is known around the world for their timeless music. And now they are finally touring Europe again, meaning that fans all across Europe will have a chance to listen to the band once again.
