    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.

    Is Barbra Streisand performing live?

    Not on any announced schedule. Barbra Streisand's most recent public concerts took place in the summer of 2019, including British Summer Time in London's Hyde Park on July 7, Madison Square Garden on August 3 and the United Center in Chicago on August 6. Asked in 2025 whether she would perform live again, she told Variety, "Oh, God. I doubt it. But there's a little part of me that may consider that." Treat any listing under her name with care and confirm it before you buy.

    Her scarcity as a live act is long-standing. Stage fright and security concerns kept her off the concert stage for decades, and each return has been treated as an event.

    Six decades at the top

    Streisand was born on April 24, 1942, in Brooklyn. She began in nightclubs and on Broadway in the early 1960s, and her debut, The Barbra Streisand Album (1963), won the Grammy for Album of the Year. She is the only artist to top the Billboard 200 in six different decades, and she has sold more than 150 million records.

    • Film: a Best Actress Oscar for Funny Girl (1968), and a second Oscar for writing "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born (1976).
    • Hot 100 No. 1s: "The Way We Were," "Evergreen," "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" and "Woman in Love."
    • Honors: EGOT status (an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony), the Kennedy Center Honors, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
    • Recent work: the memoir My Name Is Barbra (2023) and the duets album The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two (June 27, 2025), with guests including Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande.

    A short list of famous returns

    • New Year's 1993 to 1994 and the 1994 tour: her first public concerts in 27 years, apart from her Las Vegas nightclub engagements, began with two nights at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and grew into a summer tour whose tickets sold out in under an hour. The HBO broadcast of Barbra Streisand: The Concert won five Emmy Awards.
    • Timeless (1999 to 2000): a New Year's Eve 1999 return, concerts in Australia, and September 2000 shows in Los Angeles and New York that she presented as a farewell to public concerts.
    • 2006 North American tour: a 20-concert arena tour from October 4 in Philadelphia to November 20 in Los Angeles, with Il Divo as guests, setting house gross records in 14 of its 16 arenas.
    • Europe (2007): her first concerts in continental Europe, with a 58-piece orchestra.
    • Barbra Live (2012 to 2013): including an October 11, 2012, concert at the newly opened Barclays Center, her first public performance in her home borough of Brooklyn.
    • The Music, The Mem'ries, The Magic (2016): a nine-city tour before the release of Encore.
    • 2019 shows: Hyde Park before a crowd of about 70,000, with Kris Kristofferson and Lionel Richie among her guests, then Madison Square Garden and the United Center.

    What her concerts were like

    A Streisand concert is a theatrical evening rather than a rock show. Her 2019 arena concerts ran in two acts with an orchestra, with the first act lasting about an hour and a single-song encore at the end. The program mixed Broadway standards, film songs and her own hits with stories from her career, and large screens carried photographs and footage.

    Celebrity attendance became part of the story; her Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center nights drew well-known guests from politics and entertainment.

    Where to sit if she returns

    Her past concerts were end-stage arena shows built around her voice and an orchestra, so the priorities are a clear view and balanced sound.

    • Lower-level sections facing the stage: the best overall seats, raised above the floor and looking straight at the stage.
    • Floor: close, but every row sits at the same height, so the rows near the back of the floor can see less than the lower bowl.
    • Upper level, center: the value option; at a seated, story-driven show, the screens and sound reach well.
    • Side and behind-stage seats: avoid them unless a listing describes the view clearly.

    For outdoor festival-style dates like Hyde Park, the space closest to the stage is usually the premium tier, and general admission areas fill early.

    Buying safely: tributes and look-alike listings

    Because Streisand performs so rarely, most events that use her name are tribute shows or concerts of her music by other singers. Productions in Australia in 2026, for example, presented her songbook with other performers in the lead. Those can be enjoyable nights, but they are not Barbra Streisand concerts. Read the performer name closely, and check any claimed appearance against her official site.

    If a real concert is announced, history points to a fast sellout: the 1994 tour sold out in under an hour and the 1999 New Year's Eve show sold out within hours. Expect premium pricing on the primary sale and a strong resale market. Every GoodSeats order includes guaranteed entry, and the live event list on this page shows what is on sale.
