About Paul Simon

Paul Simon first gained international recognition as one half of the legendary folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, achieving global success in the 1960s with songs such as “The Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Following the duo’s split in 1970, Simon embarked on a solo career that would further cement his reputation as one of the most innovative songwriters of his generation.

His 1972 self-titled solo album produced the hit “Mother and Child Reunion,” while 1975’s Still Crazy After All These Years featured “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” In 1986, Simon released Graceland, an album that incorporated South African musical influences and became one of the defining records of the decade, earning widespread critical acclaim and multiple Grammy Awards. The record included the hit single “You Can Call Me Al” and has sold millions of copies worldwide.

Over the course of his career, Simon has consistently blended folk, rock, pop, and global musical traditions, earning a reputation for lyrical depth and musical experimentation. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice — once as a member of Simon & Garfunkel and again as a solo artist — and is a multiple Grammy Award winner.

The Dublin show at 3Arena forms part of his 2026 live schedule and marks a significant opportunity for Irish fans to experience his catalogue performed live. Audiences can expect a mix of acoustic intimacy and full-band arrangements, delivered with the polished musicianship that has defined his performances throughout his career.
