Madison Square Garden is already gearing up for a power-packed September as the world’s most famous arena just announced two shows — Roxy Music on Sept. 12 with special guest St. Vincent and Florence + The Machine on Sept. 16. plus supporting act Sam Fender.
This will be Roxy Music’s first tour in 11 years celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary. The show at The Garden is one of only nine concerts in the United States on the tour. Although there’s no new music on the horizon, the band plans to release special anniversary editions of past records.
