On July 18, Joel will perform his 100th lifetime concert at the venue.  Pre-sale tickets for the show will be available starting this Monday, January 22, at 10 a.m. ET to Citi cardmembers. The general public can buy tickets beginning January 26 via Ticketmaster.com.

In addition to his already-scheduled shows at the Garden this year, the Piano Man also has a February 9 show booked in Tampa, Florida, and three June concerts overseas: in Dublin, Ireland; Manchester, England; and Hamburg, Germany. 

It’s the latest news in what’s started out as a banner year for Joel. On New Year’s Day, his daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, announced her engagement. She’s the oldest of Billy’s three children; the youngest, Remy, arrived this past October.
