Great to hear today that American legend Paul Simon has confirmed his first concert in Israel since waaaaay back in 1983 (with Art Garfunkel). This time he’ll be here solo, and performing at the Ramat Gan Stadium on July 21.
There have been plenty of rumors recently that Paul Simon was on the list of “almost certainlys” to perform in Israel this summer, and those rumors have now been confirmed.
He’ll be here as part of a world tour to promote his new album So Beautiful or So What. The album is getting a lot of critical acclaim, with some declaring that it’s Simon’s best in 20 years.
With Bob Dylan (Dylan performs in Israel in June) celebrating his 70th birthday today (May 24th), you might be surprised to know that Paul Simon also hits 70 later this year. They might be getting on a bit, but these guys are legends…well worth catching!
You can get hold of your tickets from May 30 by contacting the Leann website (www.leaan.co.il) (Tel: 03-5247373). Expect prices to start at the 300 shekel mark.
