Paul Simon has announced the extension of his tour after coming out of retirement earlier this year.
Simon, 84, will travel to the United Kingdom and Europe in 2026 for his “A Quiet Celebration” tour, the musician announced on Instagram.
This leg of the tour will begin on April 9 in Prague, Czech Republic and will also make stops in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Dec. 17 on ticketing platforms such as Ticketmasterwas and StubHub.
Simon initially retired in 2018 after his last tour “Homeward Bound – The Farewell Tour,” due to significant hearing loss.
“It was incredibly frustrating. I was very angry at first that this had happened,” Simon said in an interview for “CBS Mornings“ last year. “I guess what I’m most apprehensive about would be if I can’t hear well enough to really enjoy the act of making music.”
Simon made a comeback to touring this year after embarking on the 55-stop North American “A Quiet Celebration” tour in April, starting in New Orleans, Louisiana, before ending in Seattle, Washington, in August.
The musician made adjustments to the set list and speaker placements to allow him to continue performing.
Simon is came to prominence as one half of the music duo Simon & Garfunkel alongside longtime collaborator Art Garfunkel. They are most well known for their hit songs “The Sound of Silence” and “Mrs. Robinson.”
Together, the duo has won 16 Grammy awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
