Simon & Garfunkel to tour Canada
By Darryl Sterdan, QMI Agency


Simon and Garfunkel are apparently feelin' groovy enough to tour Canada this spring.

The reunited ’60s folk icons will hit eight Canadian cities between late April and mid-May, the pair announced Friday on their website.

Singer-guitarist Paul Simon and vocalist Art Garfunkel will kick off their Old Friends in Concert tour at the New Orleans Jazz Festival on April 24, before heading north to Vancouver and swinging east to Montreal over the next few weeks. See the full list of dates below.

Tickets for most of the Canadian shows will go on sale Friday, March

12 at 10 a.m., according to the duo's website (tickets for the Montreal show are slated to go on sale Saturday, March 13). Prices, opening acts and other details have not been released, but tickets for U.S. shows in Fargo and Minneapolis are currently going for between $225 and $50 at Ticketmaster.

Although they broke up in the early ’70s, Simon and Garfunkel have periodically reunited, mostly for live performances. Their hits include The Sounds of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, Bridge Over Troubled Water and The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy).
