An evening full of folk rock goosebump moments in Bayreuth

When Simon & Garfunkel meets Classic comes to the stage on October 16, 2026, in Bayreuth, timeless songwriting meets the warm shine of classical instruments. The tribute duo Graceland combines the great global hits with strings and band to create a concert experience that promises closeness, precision, and emotional depth.

The sound of a whole generation, newly illuminated

Thomas Wacker and Thorsten Gary have been known for years for their respectful approach to the original: close to the sound, without being a mere copy. On the official website, the duo describes its concept as a high-quality interpretation of the Simon & Garfunkel classics; in the expanded lineup with quartet and band, an orchestral color unfolds that elegantly combines folk rock and chamber music. This very mix makes the evening in Bayreuth exciting for all who want to not only hear the hits but experience them atmospherically.

Live atmosphere between intimacy and big stage

The Europasaal in DAS ZENTRUM provides the perfect setting for this. With its flexible stage and lighting technology, the infinitely adjustable front stage, the orchestra pit, and the acoustic equipment, a space is created where two-part singing and fine arrangements clearly come into their own. The music of Simon & Garfunkel thrives on dynamics, harmony, and the art of quiet moments - live, this language unfolds particularly intensely.

A program with cult status and recognition value

The program features those songs that have long become part of the collective music memory: great ballads, delicate guitar motifs, and melodies that instantly evoke images in the mind. Graceland relies on the interplay of voices, guitars, and classical ensemble sound. This results in an evening that combines nostalgic familiarity with fresh stage presence - exactly the kind of concert where the audience starts singing along internally after the first few notes.
