Have fun! See if you can jot down the setlist. I´ll be very interested to see what songs he plays.

Vicar street as Bodo points out is at most 1500, what I was hoping for was more of the unusual songs from Hearts And Bones, capeman and One Trick Pony

my bet is Darling Lorraine makes it. He is talking it up in a lot of interviews. I think he will play a lot of the songs from the new album, compared to other tours.

Matthew : didn´t you say you didn´t want to know the setlist ?!
I feel the same as you do : I want to have some Surprise the night of the concert but most likely won´t resist until the 6th july ...
However, if Hearts And Bones is on the setlist,wouah !!! I don´t mind knowing, do you ?

Hearts And Bones is one of my favorites, so I am glad that it has been confirmed for this tour. I am curious as to what else has been confirmed....?

To be honest, nothing has been confirmed. He´s gonna play many songs from the new album because he said that in a few interviews... Also a few songs he has not done for a while......

Hearts & Bones is one of my favourites too. For me is strange that Simon never rescue this song, is a lot of years and tours that he don´t play it.

I hope some variations from one concert to other, but don´t believe it, not in Simon.

According to this Australian article: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/arts/beautifu

The Obvious Child is another song he´s reviving. Exciting news if true.

If that´s true about The Obvious Child, it´s very exciting. One of his absolute best songs, and his best concert opener of all time.

Would also Love to hear Born At The Right Time and The Coast.

Just back from the show. Like many of us on this forum, I have seen Paul Simon many times on stage. This is by far the best show he´s done, and certainly did not sound like the opening night of a tour, but rather like a very achieved one. Could not keep up with a setlist, but among other gems, Hearts And Bones, Diamonds on the SOles of her Shoes, the Sounds Of Silence, The Only Living Boy in NY, Crazy Love, Gumboots (opening song), The Obvious Child, So Beautiful or so What, the Afterlife, Dazzling Blue, and... Here Comes the Sun. The show was exactly 2 hours long, Paul talked to the audience a few times and joked when someone shouted "we love you", responding "I used to love me too". He was in a great mood, happy to be there, and mentioned it had been 4 years since playing for us up here in Seattle. The Sunday show should be great, we do not have tickets (unfortuantely) but may try to find some tomorrow. Let me know if you have questions I would have covered, I wanted to give this "review" while memories were still fresh!
