Billy Joel extends 2024 tour. Get tickets for shows w/ Sting, Stevie Nicks

The Piano Man is going to sing us a few more songs this year. Billy Joel , 74, just added a handful of huge concerts outside of his ongoing Madison Square Garden residency — that allegedly comes to an end on July 25 — to his 2024 slate. As previously shared, he’ll co headline with fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Sting at Tampa, FL’s Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, Feb.

24 and San Diego, CA’s Petco Park on Saturday, April 13. Months later, the two will hit the road again for the just announced concert at St. Louis, MO’s Busch Stadium on Friday, Sept. 27. He’s also scheduled to share the stage with former Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks at Arlington, TX’s AT&T Stadium on Saturday, March 9 and Chicago, IL’s Soldier Field on Friday, June 21.

Most recently, Joel announced he will play three solo shows outside of the Tri State area. First, the “Uptown Girls” singer is scheduled to hit Seattle, WA’s T Mobile Park on Friday, May 24. After that, he’ll swoop into Denver, CO’s Coors Field on Friday, July 12 and Great Britain’s Principality Stadium on Friday, Aug.

9. And if you want to sing along with Long Island’s favorite son live all year long, you can grab tickets for all of his upcoming 2024 shows as soon as today. Although inventory isn’t available for the newly announced gigs on Ticketmaster until Friday, Jan. 12, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event. A complete calendar of upcoming Billy Joel concerts at NYC’s Madison Square Garden — the July 25 show is reportedly his last at MSG — can be found below.

For a closer look at his 2024 calendar, here’s when and where you can see the Rock legend live this year. Although Joel is known to mix it up for fans, we found a recent MSG concert set list courtesy of Set List FM to give you a taste of what hits to expect when you see him live at the Garden. 01.) “My Life” 02.) “Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song)” 03.) “Summer, Highland Falls” 04.) “Zanzibar” 05.) “An Innocent Man” 06.) “The Entertainer” 07.) “Just the Way You Are” 08.) “Los Angelenos” 09.) “Allentown” 10.) “Vienna” 11.) “Don’t Ask Me Why” 12.) “New York State of Mind” 13.) “The Downeaster Alexa” 14.) “Sometimes a Fantasy” 15.) “Only the Good Die Young” 16.) “The River of Dreams” 17.) “Nessun dorma” (Giacomo Puccini cover) 18.) “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant” 19.) “Piano Man” Encore: 20.) “We Didn’t Start the Fire” 21.) “Uptown Girl” 22.) “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” 23.) “Big Shot” 24.) “You May Be Right” Joel’s history with Madison Square Garden dates back all the way to December 1978 when he played the arena for the first time on the heels of the success of “The Stranger.” In the 45 years since, Joel performed at the venue over 90 consecutive months since January 2014 and earned MSG’s records for “Most Lifetime Performances By Any Artist,” (currently at 136 shows) as well as “Most Consecutive Performances By Any Artist,” according to ABC 7.

Back in 2006, Joel broke the record for “Most Consecutive Performances By Any Artist” at MSG with 12. Soon after, he beat his own record in January 2015. Three years after, he performed his 100th show at MSG in July 2018. Former Governor then Andrew Cuomo declared July 18, 2018 “Billy Joel Day” in the State of New York.

Over the course of his long standing residency, Joel’s sold 1.6 million tickets. Will anyone ever topple Joel’s MSG record? Well, at the time of publication, here are the artists — along with the number of times they’ve played at Madison Square Garden — trailing him: Elton John (76 performances) Phish (64 performances) Grateful Dead (52 performances) Bruce Springsteen (49 performances) Eric Clapton (37 performances) The Who (34 performances) Madonna (33 performances) Rod Stewart (32 performances) Neil Diamond (28 performances) As of now, Harry Styles has only played Madison Square Garden 22 times.

Joel isn’t the only icon who’s been performing since the ’70s on tour this year.
