More than 500,000 tickets have been sold in record time, with all 11 concerts expected to be sold out, turning the Iberdrola Music venue into a tribute to Latin music.
Developers are planning to bring ABBA Voyage, the high-tech concert experience built around holographic versions of the Swedish pop group, to Hell's Kitchen. The project is one step closer to reality and, if all goes as planned, the show will open in 2028 inside a purpose-built venue on 11th Avenue between West 45th and 46th Streets.
So another word about tickets. They did finally announce single-game tickets were going on sale, but only for games though June. It's not enough to keep season plans limited to those requiring fans to buy more tickets than they can use, feeding the secondary markets which the Mets also get a cut of, but "make-your-own-plan" fans like me who've reliably occupied seats for decades,
Having released The Mountain, their best album since Plastic Beach, on Friday, Gorillaz have now announced a North American tour supporting it. The fall dates are their first major North American outing since 2022, and they'll have Deltron 3030 opening all shows, with Little Simz as well on most of them.

Bach's thicket of counterpoint sing and dance.
Selling out a venue such as London's O2 Arena used to be considered a high point of an artist's career. Now, selling out just one night there might seem a bit underwhelming. Raye and Olivia Dean will play six nights apiece at the 20,000-capacity hall this year; Dave is playing four, Ariana Grande is playing a whopping 10. Harry Styles, never one to be outdone, last month announced a staggering 30 dates at New York's Madison Square Garden,
