Legend Paul Simon Adds 2026 UK & Europe Dates

Eighty-four-year-old music icon Paul Simon has announced an expansion of his "A Quiet Celebration Tour," adding UK and European dates for 2026. This return to the stage follows a period where significant hearing loss had led him to consider retirement. Simon cited improved hearing, inspired by his recent album "Seven Psalms," as a key factor in his decision to perform again.

The newly announced shows will span various European cities, offering fans an intimate experience focused on his more recent, softer compositions alongside his extensive catalog of hits. This tour marks his return to the UK and continental Europe after nearly a decade, promising a unique blend of old and new material adapted to his current performance capabilities.

Simon's renewed ability to perform comes after significant adjustments were made to accommodate his hearing loss, which had previously led to a farewell tour in 2018. A recent duet on the "Saturday Night Live" 50th anniversary special also reportedly rekindled his performing spirit, leading to this exciting announcement for fans worldwide.
