Paul Simon returns to Ireland

Legendary singer-songwriter Paul Simon continues "A Quiet Celebration Tour," following a highly successful and critically acclaimed US tour.

The show opens with the performance of the Grammy-nominated masterpiece Seven Psalms. This beautiful 33 minute continuous piece of music was heralded by the press worldwide - the Guardian called it “a masterful suite” and Times of London “a remarkable album.” After a brief intermission, the show continues with many of Simon’s classic hits and some rarely, if ever, performed pieces, all lovingly and newly arranged specifically for this tour.

Seven Psalms was recorded on entirely acoustic instruments and performed predominantly by Paul. Simon often says the listener completes the song, and he was eager to expand the experience by performing this intricately layered work in a live forum.

"The songwriter delivered a remarkable performance that mixed hits and deep cuts with a complete performance of his 2023 LP Seven Psalms......a victory lap for one of the greatest songwriters of the past century."

- Rolling Stone

​​”A beautiful benediction for one of America’s defining songwriters… take any chance you get to see him again."

 - Los Angeles Times
