A Few Nights With Billy Joel

Billy Joel is following up yesterday’s news about his franchise at Madison Square Garden by adding a sixth show at the NYC venue. He’s also made plans outside the Big Apple with a gig in the Detroit area and another in Pittsburgh.

The franchise will feature one show a month with Joel “as long as there is demand.” So far, there is definitely demand.

The first four MSG dates – Jan. 27, Feb. 3, May 21 and April 18 – are already sold out.

The sixth show is scheduled June 21. Presale tickets for that concert, as well as the May 9 performance announced yesterday, are available now for Citi card members.

Tickets for the May and June shows will be available to the public Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. EST.
