Billy Joel sets 90th Madison Square Garden residency show for April
He's seen the lights go out on Broadway and he'll see the lights go up in Madison Square Garden for a 90th straight time. Billy Joel extends his monthly residency with a newly announced show on April 22.
General-public tickets at Ticketmaster.com are scheduled to go on sale Dec. 2 at 10 a.m. Unlike with the recent Taylor Swift debacle, the online-ticketing monolith offers no Verified Fan option for this show, which marks the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer's 136th at the Garden overall. His concert Wednesday is sold out, as are Dec. 19 and Jan. 13; tickets remain for the Feb. 14 and March 26 shows.
Joel, 73, also recently added a Feb. 25 show at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and five dates nationwide alongside fellow music legend Stevie Nicks.
The Hicksville-raised Joel has earned five Grammy Awards plus a Grammy Legend Award and numerous other accolades. He began his unprecedented Garden residency on Jan. 27, 2014.
