Sources close to the Emmy Award winning artists, have stated that they will start their reunion world tour in New Zealand some time in June.
Tour rehearsals begin in New York in May and the tour will launch in New Zealand around the first week of June, according to the source. Shows in Australia and possibly Japan will follow, the source said.
Simon’s manager, Jeff Kramer, has asked the group’s musicians to clear their calendars — which means canceling other shows — from late May through June, the source said.
About three months ago Art Garfunkel took part into HBO’s “Flight of the Conchordsâ€. (Flight of the Conchords – season 2, episode 7).
In an effort to get a gig, Murray books the pair as Simon and Garfunkel look alike act:
Perhaps they are doing a Flight of the Conchords look alike act?.
Simon and Garfunkel formed the group “Tom and Jerry” in 1957, and had their first taste of success with the minor hit “Hey, Schoolgirl”. As Simon and Garfunkel, the duo rose to fame in 1965, backed by the hit single “The Sounds of Silence“. Their music was featured in the landmark film The Graduate, propelling them further into the public consciousness.
They are well known for their close vocal harmonies and sometimes unstable relationship. Their last album, Bridge over Troubled Water, was delayed several times due to artistic disagreements. They were among the most popular recording artists of the 1960s; among their biggest hits, in addition to “The Sounds of Silence”, were “I Am a Rock“, “Homeward Bound“, “Mrs. Robinson“, “Bridge over Troubled Water“, and “The Boxer“. They have received several Grammys and are inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (2007). In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Simon and Garfunkel #40 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[1]
They have reunited on several occasions since their 1970 breakup, most famously for 1981′s The Concert in Central Park, which attracted about 500,000 people.

I really love their song “The sound of silence”
Yeah, me too. Have it on my phone as a rington.
I used to love Simon and Garfunkel (silly old me) but this is a joke – right?
There is no video anymore…
I will watch them next time they get together. Or maybe next time after that.

I’ve been a big fan of theirs from the beginning. Love their music.
If they get together again, I am on it. There music was uncompromising and has not been matched in the genre in the last 30 years!
