Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel will make their third and final tour of Japan as Simon & Garfunkel in July, and in the process become the oldest foreign artists to play at Tokyo Dome. The singer-songwriter duo are both 67 years old, and will surpass the record held by Charlie Watts, who performed at Tokyo Dome when he was 65 during a Rolling Stones tour in March 2006.

The pair announced their upcoming world tour in February, when Garfunkel made a surprise appearance at one of Simon’s shows in New York, where they sang a couple of their classic hits together, such as “The Sound of Silence” (originally titled “The Sounds of Silence”) and “The Boxer.”

Simon & Garfunkel will start their Japan tour at Nagoya Dome on July 8 and follow it with shows at Tokyo Dome on July 10 and 11, Kyocera Dome in Osaka on July 13 and finish their tour at Sapporo Dome on July 18.

The concerts will be their first in Japan since 1993 when they played two gigs drawing about 80,000 people in total. Their five concerts this July are expected to attract around 200,000 fans.
