Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel Get Together For A Reunion Tour of Asia and Australia
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel Get Together For A Reunion Tour of Asia and Australia. The reunion plans began after Simon and Garfunkel played three songs together during Simon’s two night gig at New York’s Beacon Theatre in February, 2009.

Tour rehearsals will begin in New York in May and the tour will launch in New Zealand around the first week of June. Shows in Australia and possibly Japan will follow.
Simon’s manager, Jeff Kramer, has asked the group’s musicians to clear their calendars from late May through June.
Kramer also hinted to Rolling Stone magazine that after the February show, a tour was in the making.
No official announcement has been made and Simon’s publicist has not responded.
Simon and Garfunkel last reunited for their “Old Friends” tour in 2003 and 2004, which Rolling Stone estimated earned $123 million.
The two, friends since childhood, is famous for breaking up and making up about every dozen years (perhaps they ran out of money again).
Most Baby Boomers remember their biggest hits together came in the late 1960s. “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Mrs. Robinson” and “Scarborough Fair.”
My question is…Why not do an USA tour…perhaps they want a vacation?

I would love to hear them in person but I know I won’t be able to but they keep their music alive and that is so important.
