Back in 2018, national treasure Paul Simon wrapped up his farewell tour. At the time, Simon said that he wasn't done performing but that he would no longer attempt to launch any full-scale tours. Simon has continued to give one-off performances in the past seven years. This past weekend, he kicked off the SNL50 TV special, singing "Homeward Bound" with Sabrina Carpenter. But nobody really expected Simon to change his mind on the touring thing. After all, Paul Simon is now 83 years old. He's recently been losing his hearing and looking into experimental treatments involving zebrafish. But maybe the zebrafish thing worked, since Paul Simon is ready to tour again. He'll hit the road again this spring and summer.
Paul Simon's upcoming A Quiet Celebration tour is in support of his 2023 mini-album Seven Psalms, though he'll obviously also sing the classics. Simon will be accompanied by his wife Edie Brickell and a 10-piece backing band. He'll play multiple-night stands in relatively intimate venues like New York's Beacon Theatre and LA's Disney Hall. Below, check out the dates, as well as a tour trailer.
