PAUL SIMON has confirmed a show at The O2 in Dublin, Thursday 12 July 2012. Included in the evening will be a special performance of his Graceland album and will feature Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
The night will cover songs throughout his illustrious career, as well as the performance of the GRACELAND album. This will be the first performance of this type which kicks off a month long tour in Europe
‘Under African Skies’ – a documentary directed by Joe Berlinger chronicling the creation and lasting influence of ‘Graceland’ debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January of this year, kicking off a year-long celebration commemorating the 25th Anniversary of Paul Simon’s musical and cultural achievement.
In 1986, ‘Graceland’ sold 14 million copies worldwide, and received universal praise from critics around the globe. In 1987, it won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards. Then, in an unprecedented carryover, the album garnered the Grammy for Song of the Year with its title track in 1988.
Graceland continues to provide rewards to its listeners and remains a pivotal listening experience for writers, artists and fans alike.
All in all it promises to be an incredible evening, from one of the greatest contemporary songwriters of our time

It'd be pretty hard to stay sitting for alot of the graceland stuff.
Couldn't sit down when this is happening live

If it's fully seated then I want to make sure I get the cheapest seats. No way am I paying 100 euro plus! I got stung bad when I went to see Rush last year....
Try something like €250 I paid for two for Yusef Islam if you wanna feel stung
Can't wait for this gig, absolutely stoked but swore I'd never pay mad money for a gig again.0 -
Same seating arrangement and price range as Elton John. It's usually the venue that commands these prices. It makes me
wrongity wrong. Artist sets the price of a ticket. Well - the promoter and artist agree a fee the artist will accept to do the gig, then the promoter takes that number, adds on the cost of hiring the venue and their own profit, and divides it by the number of tickets they can sell.
The ticket prices (highest and lowest) will tend to follow a certain pattern, but they say the rough rule of thumb is that of any ticket price, the artist is getting a third, the venue a third and the promoter a third, with the artist and venue getting paid first. Which would be why a certain promoter would be flogging the support act at the RHCP like the bejaysus; if the gig doesn't sell out, the loss has to be taken by promoter - the same promoter who negotiated the fee at the start.0 -

Not sure, you only get 1 chance with the password so cant try again.
The code is valid until tkts are actually bought, you can keep trying until you get the tkts you want. I got 2 in block B. Not quite the same price as when I saw Graceland originally. But still it should be a great night.
