Simple Minds have set Sacrosanct for release on January 29, 2027, and shared the new single “Beginner Boys.” Ticketmaster UK readers following the band now have a fixed date for the next studio album, while BMG is handling the release. The announcement also points back to Direction Of The Heart from 2022.

The available announcement text is truncated, so it does not lay out the full tracklist, personnel or promotional plan. For now, the concrete takeaway is simple: a new Simple Minds studio album is scheduled, and “Beginner Boys” is the first song attached to it.
