LOS ANGELES - Paul Simon is stepping back into the spotlight.

The Simon & Garfunkel legend, who announced his retirement from touring in 2018, has reversed course with the announcement of his 2025 A Quiet Celebration Tour. The tour will feature intimate performances, allowing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee to manage his hearing loss while still delivering a live experience for fans.

Simon made the announcement just days after performing "Homeward Bound" alongside Sabrina Carpenter during "Saturday Night Live’s" 50th anniversary special on Feb. 15.

The tour, supporting Simon’s 2023 album Seven Psalms, will kick off April 4 in New Orleans and run through Aug. 3 in Seattle.

  • Massey Hall in Toronto (May 27-30)
