NY arenas are set to reopen on Tuesday (2/23) for sports and music events, with restrictions, and both Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center have games lined up this month and next. While their calendars include shows that were rescheduled earlier in the pandemic and may or may not happen on their currently scheduled dates, there are no concerts set for the next couple of months yet. MSG did announce a show today, however, from Colombian reggaeton artist Maluma. It's still months away -- scheduled for Friday, October 1, 2021 -- and there's no word yet about what restrictions the venue might be subject to by that point. Tickets go on general sale Friday 2/26 at 10 AM, and in a statement, producers CMN say they "will follow and comply with recommendations and guidelines imposed by governmental authorities and public health departments."
See all of Maluma's 2021 US dates below.
In the meantime, when MSG does reopen this week, they'll be limited to 10% capacity, and require all attendees to have tested negative for COVID within 72 hours of the event from a PCR test (versus a "rapid" antigen test), even those who have been vaccinated against COVID. Once inside, attendees will be seated in a socially distanced manner, and face masks will be required. Tickets will be available to Season Ticket Members before the general public, and they'll also be hosting essential workers at events. Find more information on MSG's reopening FAQ.
