Paul Simon has announced a full slate of 2026 tour dates, extending his acclaimed A Quiet Celebration tour into both Europe and North America. The new run follows his return to live performance after stepping away from touring in recent years due to hearing issues.

The 2026 shows continue the same format introduced during the tour’s earlier legs. Each night opens with a complete performance of Simon’s 2023 album Seven Psalms, followed by a second set drawing from across his solo catalog and his work with Simon and Garfunkel.

Tour Background

Simon originally concluded what was billed as his farewell tour in 2018, later citing hearing difficulties as a reason for stepping away from large scale live performances. His return to the stage with A Quiet Celebration has been widely praised for its restrained presentation and focus on musicianship rather than spectacle.

The 2026 dates represent the most extensive touring Simon has undertaken since that return, giving fans additional opportunities to see him perform in both intimate and outdoor settings.

Ticket on sale information varies by market, with most North American dates going on sale in early February through official ticketing outlets.
