Paul Simon Adds 2026 North American Dates To His Ongoing 'A Quiet Celebration Tour'

Paul Simon will extend his A Quiet Celebration Tour with a series of new North American dates beginning June 4 at Frost Amphitheater in Palo Alto, California. The 20-date summer run concludes July 17-18 with two shows at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois. Other notable stops include the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles (June 7) and a two-night stand at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado (June 12-13). The 84-year-old music legend also will return to his home borough of Queens on July 8 at Forest Hills Stadium, where he last performed in 2018 during his planned farewell tour. The 2026 tour features larger amphitheater venues compared to last year's intimate theater shows, with tickets going on sale Friday (Feb. 6). These dates continue Simon's live return after losing most hearing in his left ear, which forced a seven-year break from major touring. The North American shows follow a series of European dates running April 10 through May 20.
