Billy Joel Pushes MSG Shows to Late 2021, Early 2022

Billy Joel will not return to the World's Greatest Arena until November 2021.

As COVID-19 proved to bring the music industry to a halt, the Piano Man originally postponed a run of six spring/summer Madison Square Garden shows to the stretch between Sept. 26, 2020 and Feb. 3, 2021.

Now, those same shows have been pushed to the gap between Nov. 5, 2021 and Feb. 12, 2022.

This change impacts not only Joel fans, but live music aficionados in general who are wondering when MSG will reopen its doors for concerts.

Phish's New Year's run, for example, seems to be less and less likely.
