The Australian Herald-Sun reports that S&G might be headed there in early 2008:
Simon and Garfunkel set for tour
Promoters are negotiating to bring legendary folk duo Simon and Garfunkel to Australia.
Dates have been tentatively locked in for early next year, with two rival promoters now bidding.
The pair, whose infighting over money is legendary, last re-formed for a tour in 2004.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel reportedly demanded $1.1 million between them for each show.
The new tour will follow the release of a vintage concert recording, Live 1969, in September.
The duo’s last Australian tour was in 1983.
After shows in New York and Japan in 1993 they played at 2003’s Grammy Awards, and a tour that year earned $73 million. Shows in 2004 earned $35 million.
The duo have sold more than 40 million albums with hits including The Sound of Silence, I Am a Rock, Hazy Shade of Winter, Mrs Robinson and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Please come back to me it has been so long…………………come back to Australia
Please decide soon on which promoter to commit to as six months without news from the media is too long! I am really looking forward to seeing you both for the first time whatever venue you perform at. Warm regards, David Milburn. Melbourne, Australia.

If you come for just one concert … i will probably scrape together some money (though im already poor) to fly to wherever you decide to play … i want to see you that badly!

If I had only a few hours to live, and granted one wish, it would be to go to a Simon and Garfunkel concert so I could take their music with me in my heart!
