in July of 2024, after 10 years and some 150 concerts. The first of the final 10 concerts will take place on October 20, 2023.The announcement was made during a press conference at the venue, attended by Joel, MSG CEO James Dolan and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
“Billy Joel’s franchise run has made history – not only for Madison Square Garden, but also for the music industry overall,” said Dolan. “150 sold out lifetime shows is a remarkable achievement, and speaks to Billy’s extraordinary talent, beloved catalog, and dedicated fanbase. Billy always has a home here at MSG even though the residency is coming to an end with his 150th lifetime performance.”
In December 2013, Joel was named MSG’s first-ever music franchise, beginning his residency in January 2014 with one show every month for, as he said at the time, “as long as the demand continues.” In January 2015, Joel broke his own record of the most consecutive performances by any artist with the 13th show of the residency. In July 2015, with his 65th lifetime show, Joel broke another record for the most lifetime performances by any artist.
