Billy Joel had hoped to resume his monthly residency at New York's famed Madison Square Garden (MSG) next month, but like most other touring musicians, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced him to delay his return to the stage, in some cases until next year.
Joel's concerts scheduled for June 6, July 23 and Aug. 3 at MSG will now take place on Dec. 20, Jan. 13, 2021 and Feb. 3, 2021. All tickets will be valid for the future dates.

Joel still has a handful of concerts scheduled this summer and fall at stadiums across the U.S., including June 20 at Notre Dame Stadium in Indiana, July 10 at Comerica Park in Detroit, Aug. 28 in Boston's Fenway Park and Sept. 11 in Cincinnati.
While those shows have yet to be postponed, it's likely they will be.
If you still want to see Joel perform you can catch him on "Rise Up New York!", a star-studded benefit for New York's Robin Hood charity. The benefit will air simultaneously on all New York City TV stations and many radio stations, as well as on CNBC and SiriusXM.
The one-hour virtual telethon, which also will feature performances by Mariah Carey, Bon Jovi and Sting, takes place May 11.
