Good news from Paul Simon. He will go on tour again. Small venues in the US over the summer.

I hope he will also come to UK/Europe...

Another prime example why you don't want to name your tour a "farewell tour". But still better than a neverending farewell tour, though :lol

Look up his recent performance with Sabrina Carpenter at the SNL 50. Absolutely fantastic.

Really for hoping for some Europe shows, but I doubt it.

Any particular reason for the doubt? He's had a big affinity with Europe for the last 60 years.

The fact he is playing any shows at all at the age of 84 is absolutely incredible.

Just thinking because of the hassle going over here combined with age, when he could tour endlessly in America. But I hope I'm wrong!

One of my biggest regrets is not seeing him during the Stranger to Stranger tour in 2016, where he played a relatively small venue for once here in Stockholm. Saw him together with Sting the year before in a large arena and it's not quite the same (great concert nontheless). He did indeed come back for the farewell tour, but again that was the big arena (14 000 seats).

I saw the You're The One tour at the Hammersmith Odeon which is circa 3,500 capacity, probably as good as I was going to get!

The US tour is in small theaters. Plenty off those in UK Europe, so some dates over here perhaps in oktober november?

Homeword Bound with Sabrina Carpenter sounds really good.

I love that album. Great music, great production.
