”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 entire evening was magic. It displayed sheer musicianship from Simon and his accompanying band that included guitars, strings, percussion and woodwind instruments. As the tour name suggested, it was a quiet approach to showmanship, lacking the antics of the modern-day, pop-fueled concerts… Simon’s performance was majestic and vulnerable.”
-St Louis Post Dispatch
“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
February 3, 2026 – Today the legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon announced plans for a US and Canada summer tour as he extends his "A Quiet Celebration Tour," following a highly successful and critically acclaimed US tour last year. The experience was so encouraging that Simon was inspired to expand and play in some of the best outdoor summer venues in North America.
The show will be in two parts, opening with the performance of the Grammy nominated masterpiece Seven Psalms. This beautiful 33-minute continuous piece of music was heralded by the press worldwide - Variety called it "Quietly stunning...unlike any other Simon album" and Rock Cellar hailed it as, “a stunning achievement from an artist with a career full of them.” After a brief intermission, the show resumes with Simon performing many of his greatest hits and many deep cuts celebrating the breadth of his career.
The tour will begin on June 4 in Palo Alto, CA with dates at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, Tanglewood in Lenox, MA, Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, NY and ending at Ravinia in Highland Park, IL July 18. The band will include: Edie Brickell (vocals), Mark Stewart (guitar), Bakithi Kumalo (bass), Andy Snitzer (saxophone), Jamey Haddad (percussion), Mick Rossi (piano, keys), Gyan Riley (guitar), Matt Chamberlin (drums), Nancy Stagnitta (flute), Caleb Burhans (viola) and Eugene Friesen (Cello).
