Simon & Garfunkel have announced their first Australian tour in more than 25 years.
The iconic duo, known for hits like The Sound of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water and Mrs Robinson, will play shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne , Adelaide and Perth in June.
Chugg Entertainment and Sony Music Australia’s touring division, Day 1 Entertainment, will promote the tour which starts in Auckland, New Zealand , on June 13.
“We’re the first and only territory in the world that Simon and Garfunkel have confirmed concerts for,” promoter Michael Chugg said.
“It’s been 25 years since they’ve been here and I’d put money on the table this will likely be the last time for us with these two legends together.
“This is probably a twice in a lifetime chance, but the last time you’ll get to take it I’d say.”
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who last toured Australia and New Zealand in 1983, have sold more than 40 million albums in the US alone, received five Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale at midday on April 6, ahead of a general release through Ticketmaster on April 17.
