Billy Joel concert chronology

Billy Joel in Concert is a current concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Billy Joel. [1] After several concerts beforehand, in the fall of 2013, the concert tour began in Sunrise, Florida, [2] and is ongoing, scheduled to continue into November 9, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Background

After completing the 2010 Face to Face Tour with Elton John, Joel left the stage and did not return until 2013. He played several concerts, including Sydney in Australia [3] as well as four concerts in England. [4]

The tour began in Sunrise, Florida, with two concerts at the BB&T Center in January 2014. [5]

Madison Square Garden

The tour created a concert residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Joel committed to playing one show a month at Madison Square Garden as long as there is a demand for tickets. His first monthly show at the Garden was January 27, 2014. At his thirteenth consecutive monthly performance on January 9, 2015, Joel broke his 2006 record for the most consecutive sold-out shows at the venue. On July 1, 2015, Joel set the record for most shows at the Garden by a single artist; his 65th all-time show broke the record previously held by Elton John and the Grateful Dead. [6] [7] His 74th consecutive monthly and 120th all-time MSG performance was slated for March 2020, but had to be postponed due to COVID-19. [8] Joel resumed his MSG performances in November 2021. [9]

The long-running residency has included various guest performers over the years. [10]

In June 2023, Joel announced that he would be ending the residency, [11] with the final concert and his 150th overall MSG show slated for July 25, 2024. [12]

The 100th residency show was held on March 28, 2024, with Jerry Seinfeld and Sting appearing as special guests. Seinfeld presented Joel with a banner in commemoration of Joel's 100 MSG residency concerts hung on the rafters of the arena. Sting performed with Joel on the songs "Big Man on Mulberry Street" and "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic". [13] The concert was televised on CBS on April 14, 2024 and became available to stream the next day on Paramount+ as The 100th: Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden – The Greatest Arena Run of All Time, marking Joel's first ever concert special on network television. [14] Due to an over run error from CBS' 2024 Masters Tournament coverage cutting into prime time, the show was delayed by half an hour, and part of the final minutes were cut off by several CBS stations to air local news. Several viewers complained, and CBS aired a rebroadcast of the entire show on Friday, April 19, and the timing error was fixed. [15]

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Joel performed the last concert at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum on August 4, 2015, prior to the venue's extensive renovation. [16] [17] The venue re-opened its doors on April 5, 2017, with Joel being the arena's first post-renovation event. [18]

In 1977 Madison Square Garden (MSG) announced Gold Ticket Awards would be given to performers who had brought in more than 100,000 unit ticket sales to the venue. Since the arena's seating capacity is about 20,000, this would require a minimum of five sold-out shows. To publicize the announcement, the first Gold Ticket Award was given to WNEW-FM, in recognition of the station's tenth anniversary, during intermission at the October 17, 1977 Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert at the venue. It was also announced that performers who had already hit the 100,000-plus mark would receive the award at future dates.
