After wrapping up the US leg of his A Quiet Celebration Tour in the summer, the legendary singer-songwriter will bring the intimate concert series to Europe, with multiple shows in Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris between April 9 to May 4.
He'll then head to the UK, performing at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena on May 7, followed by two nights at Glasgow's SEC Armadillo, two at the London Palladium, and two shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, before concluding the run at Dublin's 3Arena on May 20.
Each concert will open with a full performance of 2023's Grammy-nominated 'Seven Psalms', a 33-minute continuous piece recorded entirely on acoustic instruments and largely performed by Simon himself. The first set will be followed by a second set featuring classics and rarities newly arranged for the tour.
Simon will be backed by a full band, including Mark Stewart on guitar, Bakithi Kumalo on bass, Steve Gadd on drums, Andy Snitzer on saxophone, Jamey Haddad on percussion, Mick Rossi on piano and keys, Gyan Riley on guitar, Nancy Stagnitta on flute, Caleb Burhans on viola, and Eugene Friesen on cello.
