Upcoming Barbra Streisand dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
The short answer on Streisand tickets
There is no Barbra Streisand concert on an announced schedule. Her most recent public shows were in summer 2019: British Summer Time in London's Hyde Park on July 7, Madison Square Garden on August 3 and Chicago's United Center on August 6. When Variety asked her in 2025 about singing live again, she answered, "Oh, God. I doubt it. But there's a little part of me that may consider that."
So read every listing that carries her name closely. If a genuine date is ever announced, the seat to want is a lower-level section (the first raised tier) facing the stage.
Tribute shows and how to tell them apart
Because she so seldom appears, most events using her name are tributes or evenings of her songs performed by someone else. In 2026, for instance, productions in Australia staged her songbook with other singers in the lead role. Those shows can be a good night out; they are not Streisand concerts.
- Read the performer line, not just the event title. "Songs of" or "a tribute to" means another artist.
- Check the venue size. Her own recent shows played arenas and a major London park, not small theaters.
- Confirm the date against her official site before you buy.
If she returns: where to sit
Her recent concerts were end-stage arena shows (the stage at one end, the audience facing it) built on her voice and an orchestra. Clear sightlines and balanced sound come first.
- Lower level facing the stage: the top choice. You sit above the floor, look straight at her, and hear the orchestra as one sound.
- Floor: close, but every row is at the same height, so the rear floor can see less than the first raised tier.
- Upper level, center: the budget route; at a seated, story-led evening the screens and sound carry well.
- Side and behind-stage sections: skip them unless the listing spells out the view.
For a park show like Hyde Park, the area nearest the stage is usually sold as a premium tier, and general admission fills early. History suggests any real date would sell out fast: the 1994 tour went in under an hour, and the 1999 New Year's Eve concert within hours. Every Reserved Seat order carries guaranteed entry.
Inside her 2019 arena concerts
Expect a theatrical evening, not a rock show. At Madison Square Garden in 2019 she performed two acts with an orchestra, the first running about an hour, and closed with a one-song encore. Broadway standards and film songs sat alongside her own hits, linked by stories from her career, while big screens showed photographs and footage. The Garden and Barclays Center nights were also known for famous faces from politics and entertainment in the audience.
Her concert comebacks since 1994
- 1993 to 1994: two New Year's nights at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, her first public concerts in 27 years apart from her Vegas nightclub engagements, grew into a summer tour that sold out in under an hour. HBO's Barbra Streisand: The Concert won five Emmys.
- Timeless, 1999 to 2000: a New Year's Eve 1999 return, Australian dates, and September 2000 shows in Los Angeles and New York presented as her farewell to public concerts.
- 2006: 20 arena concerts from Philadelphia on October 4 to Los Angeles on November 20, with Il Divo, breaking house gross records at 14 of 16 arenas.
- 2007: her first continental European concerts, with a 58-piece orchestra.
- Barbra Live, 2012 to 2013: including the October 11, 2012, show at the new Barclays Center, her first public performance in Brooklyn.
- 2016: The Music, The Mem'ries, The Magic, a nine-city run ahead of the album Encore.
- 2019: about 70,000 people in Hyde Park, with Kris Kristofferson and Lionel Richie among her guests, then the Garden and the United Center.
From Brooklyn nightclubs to EGOT
Born in Brooklyn on April 24, 1942, Streisand started out in nightclubs and on Broadway in the early 1960s. The Barbra Streisand Album (1963) won the Grammy for Album of the Year, she has topped the Billboard 200 in six separate decades (no other artist has), and her record sales pass 150 million. She won Best Actress for Funny Girl (1968) and a songwriting Oscar for "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born (1976), and her five Hot 100 No. 1s include "The Way We Were" and "Woman in Love." She holds an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony (the EGOT), plus the Kennedy Center Honors and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Stage fright and security worries kept her away from concert stages for long stretches, which is why each return was treated as an event. Her recent work includes the memoir My Name Is Barbra (2023) and The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two (June 27, 2025), a duets album featuring Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande among others.

Two acts with an orchestra, mixing Broadway and film songs with her hits and stories from her career, followed by a single-song encore.
