Simply Red fan reviews (13)

Simply Red were Simply Brilliant - Again!

Shepherds Bush was the perfect venue, had a very personal and intimate atmosphere, because of the smaller crowd. Great sound and lighting, best of all Mick's voice, just doesn't not fade. And, magically, we were right at the front of the stage. It was truly amazing! Simply Red always deliver a superb show and never disapppoint. Was over far too quickly, but looking forward to the next gig.

Simply Red, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London - 5th June 2023

Great show

The actually performance was brilliant. The queuing outside was very long and quite unnecessary. Why didn’t we have seat numbers to avoid it If people bought standing tickets that was their choice
