Paul Simon adds North American leg to 2026 tour
Paul Simon has announced a new batch of dates in North America for the summer.
After many years away, following his retirement in 2018, Simon triumphantly made a return to the stage in North America last year, and this year, he will be doing it all over again.
The tour, billed as A Quiet Celebration Tour, is set to begin with a European leg. It will get underway with three shows in Prague, Czech Republic, in April, before he makes his way to Germany for two shows in Berlin.
Simon will also play a pair of concerts at the Falkoner Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark, three nights at AFAS Live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and three shows at Bozar in Brussels, Belgium. Then, in May, he will start the month with two concerts at the Grand Rex in Paris, France, before coming to the UK for shows in Liverpool, Glasgow, as well as two nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The European tour will conclude on May 20th at Dublin’s 3Arena, before restarting at the Frost Ampitheater in California two weeks later on June 4th.
More Californian dates will follow, with Simon set to play the world-famous Hollywood Bowl, as well as Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, before taking on two nights at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.
The run of dates, which will largely see Simon perform at outdoor amphitheatres, will also see him visit Kansas City, Cincinnati, Rochester Mills, Cuyahoga Falls, Toronto, Massachusetts and New Hampshire in June.
To close out the tour, Simon’s East Coast leg will continue with stops in Bethel Woods, Philadelphia, the Forest Hills Stadium in New York, and North Carolina. Then, he’ll finish the run with shows in Atlanta, Tennessee, and two concerts at Highland Park in Illinois.
Tickets for the new batch of dates are set to go on sale on February 6th, 2026.
