Legendary Musician, 84, Comes Out of Retirement, Announces New Tour Dates
Paul Simon extends his comeback tour with multiple UK and European venues, performing his Grammy-nominated composition each night in spring 2026.
- Yesterday, Paul Simon announced the UK and European leg of his A Quiet Celebration Tour, with tickets on sale Wednesday, December 17 at 10 a.m. GMT via separate UK and European links.
- The comeback follows a prior farewell decision, as Paul Simon had previously ended touring with what was described as his final-ever concert, and the new UK and European dates extend his North American A Quiet Celebration tour earlier this year.
- Shows begin in Prague, Congress Centre, with three nights on April 9, 10, and 12, opening each night with 'Seven Psalms' from 2023.
- Fans should note that earlier US dates were postponed due to chronic and intense back pain, and a minor surgical procedure has been scheduled to aid completion of the tour.
- Simon says improved hearing and his 2023 album 'Seven Psalms' are reasons for his return, highlighting his long career as a 16-time Grammy winner and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
