Simon & Garfunkel are Jazz Fest’s surprise acts

It may be hard to believe, but it’s true: Simon and Garfunkel are reuniting for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

The duo haven’t played together since February 2009, when they played in Ney York’s Beacon Theater. Now, they have confirmed that they are the surprise act for the first of Jazz Fest’s two weekends. This is not only Garfunkel’s first time to play at Jazz Fest, but it’s likely to be the only American tour date for the duo this year.

Some other acts scheduled to play at Jazz Fest are Anita Baker, Darius Rucker, Aaron Neville, the Allman Brothers, Better Than Ezra and Average White Band.
