Editor's Pick Jones Beach Summer Concert Series — Opening Night
Jones Beach Theater kicks off the 2026 summer concert season with a headliner under the stars. Park at the West End lot by 6:30 PM — the main lot fills fast on opening night. The amphitheater holds 15,000 and the back lawn is the locals' move: cheaper, breezier, you can still hear everything. Bring a sweater; ocean wind off the Atlantic comes in cool after sundown.

Editor's Pick Billy Joel at Jones Beach Theater — Hometown Show
Billy Joel's annual Jones Beach Theater hometown show — the most-sacred concert ritual on the Long Island calendar. The Hicksville-raised, Cold Spring Harbor-resident Billboard Hall of Fame inductee returns to the 15,000-seat amphitheater on the Atlantic for a single summer night. The LI deep-cuts come out. The crowd is the most-LI crowd you'll see at any concert. The sunset over Bay Parkway during the opener is structurally perfect. Forty years of LI summer history in one show.
