OLD FRIENDS REUNITED!

After 21 years, the legendary duo are back for a string of shows...

SIMON AND GARFUNKEL have confirmed concerts in LONDON, MANCHESTER and DUBLIN as part of an 11-date European tour.

The legendary duo will begin the European leg of their Old Friends reunion tour with a show at the Manchester Evening News Arena on July 14.

Ananova reports that the duo also play London's Hyde Park on July 15, and Dublin's RDS Arena two days later (July 17).

The dates are the first in the UK by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel together in more than 20 years.

The European tour also includes concerts in Paris, Cologne, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Munich and Basel.

According to their official website, simonandgarfunkel.com, there will be pre-sale tickets offered to registered members of the website.

The reunited duo's 'Old Friends' tour began in Michigan last October, and went on to gross more than £30 million.
