While he formally retired from touring in 2018, Paul Simon continued to play occasional shows after that, and last year he announced his first official tour since his retirement, a run of shows in theaters and other more intimate venues. He’s staying on the road in 2026, and returning to larger venues, with a new North American leg of his “A Quiet Celebration” tour. It runs through June and July, starting in Palo Alto, CA on June 4 and wrapping up on July 17 and 18 in Ravinia, IL. See all dates below.
The NYC show is in Simon’s home borough of Queens at Forest Hills Stadium on July 8, and there’s a Bethel, NY show at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on July 3. Tickets to those and all dates go on sale Friday, February 6 at 10 AM local, with various presales starting Thursday, February 5 at 10 AM local.
