  • Avenged Sevenfold Announces MSG Show on June 23, Supporting new Release

    Multi-platinum headliners Avenged Sevenfold announce the release of their new single, their first since 2016, titled “Nobody,” as well as a show at Madison Square Garden on June 23.

    To date, Avenged Sevenfold has sold over 10 million albums worldwide and earned two consecutive No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart as well as multiple No. 1 singles on rock radio. They have garnered over a billion video views and a billion-plus Spotify streams. Their new track “Nobody” is the band’s first official music release since their 2016 album, The Stage, delivering nearly six minutes of twists and turns, leaning in on the sense of discomfort before letting go.

    The official video for the track, directed by Chris Hopewell, is beautifully crafted in stop-motion style, unfolding like a short film. It takes the viewer through the exploration of life and death, love and war, and follows the main character through an existential crisis. The band teased the single through an elaborate and mysterious digital scavenger hunt with puzzles, ciphers, images, and blog posts all written by Chat GPT, DALL-E 2, and AI voice modifiers, leading fans to a website for more challenges, eventually “unlocking” the single on release day.

    Their new record Life Is But a Dream was recorded over the last four years, drawing inspiration from Albert Camus’ classic 1942 novella, The Stranger, due June 2. Avenged Sevenfold is supporting the release with two shows this summer- one at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA, on June 9 and the other at Madison Square Garden on June 23. Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 17, with more information available here.

    On top of that, they have a number of festival dates scheduled, including a headline run Welcome to Rockville 2023 in Daytona Beach, Florida on May 19, and performances at the Sonic Temple Art and Music festival in Columbus, Ohio on May 26 and Aftershock 2023 in Sacramento, California on Oct. 5.

  • Mexican Music Icon Alejandro Fernández Bringing ‘Amor y Patria’ Tour to Hulu Theater at MSG 

    Alejandro Fernández, Mexican music icon announced his ‘Amor y Patria’ 2023 US tour. Fernández will be making a stop in Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

    'Amor y Patria' Alejandro Fernández

    ‘Amor y Patria’ encompasses the celebration of Fernández’s love of music, family, and his native Mexico. Alex Fernández, son of Alejandro Fernández will perform alongside his father for most shows throughout the tour.

    “I’m excited to return to the US to celebrate Latino culture through my music. I’ve put together a totally new show. I can’t wait to see my fans and sing all our favorite songs together. Y que viva Mexico!”

    -Alejandro Fernández

    Alejandro Fernández embarked 2023 with the release of “Inexperto En Olvidarte”. The single is from the first single from his upcoming album that fans have been impatient waiting on. “Inexperto En Olvidarte” was an instant hit because of its heart-wrenching lyrics. The single reached #1 on Monitor Latino in México and Colombia and currently climbing US Radio charts.   

    Fernández is loved by the masses because his records speak of hard emotional truths. Throughout his career Fernández surprised his fanbase with his musical versatility in different genres. He is a two-time Grammy winner with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

    In 2020, Fernández launched “Vota Por Nosotros” (Vote For Us). It was a campaign that encouraged Latino voters to vote on behalf of our entire community in the November 3rd elections. After winning a Grammy Fernández dedicated the award to the victims of the recent hurricanes in southern Mexico. He donated MXN $1,000,000.00 to the Mexican Red Cross to aid with the relieving of survivors. He’s also joined Mana’s Fher Olvera as the face of the “We Are Home” campaign calling for a just immigration policy that would improve the lives of millions of Latino immigrants living in the US.

    The tour kicks off on Friday, September 8 in Sacramento, California. Tickets are available here.

The duo will be performing in four North American venues, with the first at the Beacon Theatre in New York on Tuesday, June 27, and the last at a to-be-announced venue in their hometown of Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, July 16.

    Sparks is a pop duo consisting of brothers Ron and Russel Mael. They grew up in Pacific Palisades, an affluent beach neighborhood in Los Angeles, CA.

  • Billy Joel Announces August Performance at MSG

    By popular demand, long time New York music sensation Billy Joel will continue his concert residency at Madison Square Garden. The venue announced that Joel’s August 29 performance will mark his 93rd monthly and 139th lifetime show at the arena. Named a franchise by MSG in December 2013, the upcoming 93rd performance for Billy Joel comes nearly 10 years after he started his residency.

    Billy Joel’s career spans more than 50 years, earning him a number of awards. The sixth best-selling recording artist of all time, his song “Piano Man” was chosen for preservation by the Library of Congress in 2016 for its “cultural, historic, and artistic significance.” Joel ranks as one of the most popular and respected entertainers in history.

    Significantly, in Dec. 2013, Joel received one of the top cultural awards in the country, The Kennedy Center Honors. He has won six Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Legend Award, and is a member of the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Joel has won various industry awards, awards including a Tony Award for “Movin’ Out,” a Broadway musical based on his work.

    In Nov. 2014, Joel received the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. The award honors living musical artists’ lifetime achievements in promoting the genre of song as a vehicle of cultural understanding, entertaining and informing audiences, and inspiring new generations. Moreover, that same month, he won the ASCAP Centennial Award, which is presented to American music icons for their achievements in their respective genres.

    Joel performed at MSG’s benefit concert, “12-12-12, The Concert For Sandy Relief,” to raise awareness and money for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Similarly, he performed at “The Concert for New York City,” to provide aid and relief to the victims and heroes of 9/11. Adding another milestone to his career, Joel has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    Tickets for the Aug. 29 show go on sale to the general public starting Friday, Feb. 10 starting at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the MSG box office on Saturday, Feb. 11.

  • Bryan Adams Will Tour at Madison Square Garden and Key Bank Center

    Canadian musician Bryan Adams is returning to the road for his So Happy It Hurts tour with rock ‘n’ roll band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, in support of his 15th studio album of the same name. The tour includes stops at Madison Square Garden and Key Bank Center in Buffalo.

    Adams and Joan Jett and the Black Hearts will perform at Madison Square Garden on Friday, June 9. The tour will stop at the Key Bank Center on Tuesday, June 13. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 3 at 12 p.m. “So Happy It Hurts” is also nominated for Best Rock Performance at the 2023 Grammy awards, this Sunday, February 5.

    Bryan Adams is regarded as one the most exciting live musicians in the world for over 40 years. Adams’ songwriting has garnered him a number of awards and accolades, including three Academy Award nominations, five Golden Globe nominations, Grammy Award and 20 Juno Awards.

    Rock ‘n’ roll was largely a male dominated genre during Jett’s youth. She formed her band The Blackhearts in 1979, and they released their first album “I Love Rock ‘n Roll,” in 1981. Their debut single of the same name shortly followed, itself a cover of the hit single by Arrows. Jett has since become an inspiration to generations for her work in music, film, television, Broadway, and humanitarianism. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts returned to the road last summer with Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Poison for The Stadium Tour, after two delays due to Covid-19.
