Paul Simon, performing in 2006.
Monday, Sept. 19, 2011 | 11:52 a.m.
The last time Paul Simon played Las Vegas, he had Art Garfunkel by his side.
Okay no, we don’t mean way back then. The folk duo actually stopped at the MGM Grand on 2003’s reunion tour. But eight years is still a long time between tour stops.
The man behind “Kodachrome,” “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard” and Graceland—not to mention S&G classics like “The Sound of Silence” and “The Boxer”—returns to town on Monday, October 24. Simon will perform at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, with show time scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
A press release for the concert promises a setlist that will “draw from Simon’s iconic career, including several songs that haven’t been performed live in many years.” Fans should also expect to hear material from April’s So Beautiful or So What, the 69-year-old’s first new album since 2006.
Tickets are priced at $59.50 to $145 (plus fees and taxes) and go on sale Friday, September 23 at 10 a.m. at the Colosseum box office, at Ticketmaster and at 800-745-3000.
