Paul Simon Announces New Tour Plans 
 In Europe, the UK and Ireland This Spring 2026 
 
The legendary singer-songwriter continues "A Quiet Celebration Tour,"
an intimate concert series featuring his Grammy-nominated album Seven Psalms, and a celebration of his timeless classics 

”a beautiful benediction for one of America’s defining songwriters… take any chance you get to see him again."
 - Los Angeles Times  

"the songwriter delivered a remarkable performance that mixed hits and deep cuts with a complete performance of his 2023 LP Seven Psalms......a victory lap for one of the greatest songwriters of the past century."
- Rolling Stone

"The concert was a masterly artful presentation of the rich mosaic of Simon material."
-Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Paul Simon may have broken the record for standing ovations Wednesday night at Symphony Center. ...this year’s A Quiet Celebration tour is…  a triumphant return”  
- Chicago Sun Times 

“There’s a fragility and honesty combined with humour and charm… Simon’s A Quiet Celebration Tour may describe the tone of his two-hour-and-20-minute show — ...but it doesn’t really do justice to the genuinely moving…career-spanning performance that unfolds.”  
-Toronto Sun  

The legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon has announced he will continue  "A Quiet Celebration Tour," following a highly successful and critically acclaimed US tour, and bring this intimate concert series to Europe, the UK and Ireland this Spring 2026. 
 
The show opens with the performance of the Grammy nominated masterpiece Seven Psalms. This beautiful 33 minute continuous piece of music was heralded by the press worldwide - the Guardian called it “a masterful suite” and Times of London “a remarkable album.”  After a brief intermission, the show continues with many of Simon’s classic hits and some rarely, if ever, performed pieces, all lovingly and newly arranged specifically for this tour.

Seven Psalms was recorded on entirely acoustic instruments and performed predominantly by Paul.  Simon often says the listener completes the song, and he was eager to expand the experience into the live forum by performing this intricately layered work in intimate rooms with pristine acoustics.
