Leading concert promoter Michael Chugg, in association with Radio 2GB and Radio 2CH, proudly stated the beloved duo would be hitting our shores in June. Chugg also said in addition to breaking the 25 year wait, there would be another special aspect to the set of shows.
“We’re the first and only territory in the world that Simon and Garfunkel have confirmed concerts for (in 2009),” he 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.”
