Diamond will take the stage at Erasmus Hall in his ol’ hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y.  A posting on his Facebook page says “a very limited amount of tickets” will go on sale at 3 p.m. EDT today.  The posting also asks fans to refrain from lining up before the onsale.  We’ll see how that goes.

“We are thrilled to present this very special show particularly on a night that acknowledges greatness in music,” said Arthur Fogel, Live Nation president of global touring / chairman of global music.
