Sting, Paul Simon Announce Joint Tour

It’s not exactly Simon and Garfunkel, but it’s arguably more interesting.

Paul Simon and Sting have announced that they will hit the road together next February and March, for a limited concert tour of North America dubbed Paul Simon and Sting: On Stage Together.

The two songwriters traded harmonies earlier this year at a benefit for the Robin Hood Foundation, performing acoustic versions of “The Boxer” and Sting’s “Fields of Gold.”

18 dates have been planned February 8th through March 16th, including a March 4th stop at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Details will come shortly, and more dates may be added soon.

“Paul and I both share this abiding curiosity about music and where it’s going,” Sting told the New York Times. “We don’t really know where this is going. We don’t really have a clue how this is going to pan out.”

Pre-sales will take place Wednesday November 6 and Tuesday Nov 12, beginning 10am local time, on Paulsimon.com.
