Sting and Simon are longtime friends and have called their collaboration for this On Stage Together tour “a natural fit.” Starting in Houston, Texas on February 8 and concluding in Orlando, Florida on March 16, each stop on the tour will include the two musicians together on stage, as well as separately with their respective bands. Along with the March 6 date, the tour will be in Manhattan on March 4, and it stops in nearby Boston on March 3 and Philadelphia on March 7.

For those who want to catch up on Simon’s epic music catalogue, he had two major releases in October. Over The Bridge Of Time: A Paul Simon Retrospective (1964-2011) features 20 of his greatest hits and, for hardcore fans, Paul Simon – The Complete Albums Collection collects six decades of music, including his 12 studio albums and two full-length live concert recordings, in a deluxe library box with magnetic closure.
