The new shows begin with an October 1 performance in Richmond, Virginia, and will be followed by four other concerts in various Eastern U.S. cities, and then a nine-date residency at The Beacon Theatre in New York City.
The 2018 Beacon engagement, which runs from October 17 to October 30, will be similar to other residencies that Steely Dan has played at the venue in recent years: At each date, the band will either showcase an entire album — plus select hits — or perform a themed set of songs.
The albums that the group will play are The Royal Scam on the 17th, Aja on the 18th and the 27th, frontman Donald Fagen‘s 1982 solo record The Nightfly on the 20th and the 29th, and Countdown to Ecstasy on the 24th and Gaucho on the 26th.
In addition, the Dan’s October 21 concert will be a “By Popular Demand” show, with a set determined by fan voting. The Beacon finale on the 30th will focus on the group’s greatest hits.
Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale to the public this Friday, March 30, at 10 a.m. ET at Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster.com or via phone by calling 1-800-745-3000.
American Express card members will be able to buy advance tickets starting Tuesday, March 27, at 10 a.m. ET. Visit SteelyDanOfficial.com and BeaconTheatre.com for more information.
