Simply Red is a British soul and pop band that was formed in 1985 in Manchester, England. Is is led by lead vocalist Mick Hucknall. The band’s sound is a blend of soul, pop, and new wave, drawing influences from jazz, rock, and reggae. Did you know that the band got its name from Hucknall’s distinctive red hair and his allegiance to the socialist movement (“red” being a political reference)?

Simply Red has been to Poland several times, and even though most concerts have been held in Warsaw, the band has also visited Gdansk and Krakow before. Here are some of the dates for the previous Simply Red concerts in Poland.

• 2009: Simply Red performed in Warsaw at the Torwar Hall on May 12 as part of their “The Greatest Hits” tour.
• 2015: On October 24, the band returned to Warsaw, performing at the Torwar Hall again during their “Big Love” tour to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
• 2016: Simply Red played at the Ergo Arena in Gdańsk/Sopot on November 26 during their “25 Years of Stars” tour, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic Stars album. The band played at Tauron arena in Krakow the day before, on November 25.

It is easy to add up the math and understand that there will not be a lot of upcoming Simply Red concerts in Poland after this. In other words, you better take advantage of this opportunity to listen to Simply Red in Poland if you have the chance, time, and the money.

Will the Christmas markets in Krakow be open on November 4?

It is very easy to understand that you would like to visit the Christmas markets in Krakow as you come to Krakow so close to Christmas. Unfortunately, the Christmas markets in Krakow only open in the end of November and not in the start of November, meaning you will have to do your shopping elsewhere. Still, the main market square in Krakow is beautiful, even without the Christmas market, so you shouldn’t worry much about being bored.

Are there anything else happening in Krakow besides the Simply Red concert?

There are always things going on in Krakow, and no matter when you come to the city, you should visit Auschwitz and the Salt Mines in Wieliczka (if you haven’t been to those destinations before). In the city of Krakow you can also visit Schindler’s Factory, walk around the Wavel Castle area, and of course, explore all the corners of the old town.

Krakow is a fantastic city. If you come for one of the Billie Eilish concerts, you should also spend some additional time in the city exploring the old town, the Schindler’s Factory, and also visit the Salt Mines and Auschwitz. Still, you should probably start your planning with buying a ticket for the concert you are interested in. We are extremely lucky, because Billie Eilish will perform two evenings in a row in Krakow. That is a privilege, and in other cities such as Prague, Oslo, Vienna, and Bologna, she will only perform once. That means you have a bigger chance of finding a ticket for the concerts in Krakow. But, do not forget that fans from all of Poland will travel to Krakow for this event, and considering that Poland is a country has more than 36 million inhabitants, we are expecting a big invasion of fans coming to Krakow for these concerts.

Billie Eilish started on Youtube and became a big star between 2017 and 2019. She released her first album in 2017 and it was with her second album that she went to the top of lists all around the world. Then she became even more famous as she sang the main theme for the James Bond movie “No Time to Die” in 2020, and since then we have heard her sing one of the most famous songs from the Barbie movie in 2023 and much more. Her most popular song on Spotify has been listened to approximately 3,000,000,000 times.
