Legendary R&B and Soul Singer Patti LaBelle Brings “The 80/65 Tour” to Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair This March
WESTBURY, NY – Legendary R&B and soul singer Patti LaBelle is scheduled to perform on Long Island this spring as part of her “80/65 Tour,” with a concert set for Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair.
The performance, slated to begin at 8 p.m., marks one of the most high-profile live music events announced so far for Long Island in early 2026. The tour title reflects LaBelle’s milestone year celebrating 80 years of life and more than 65 years in entertainment, a career that spans generations and multiple eras of American music.
LaBelle rose to prominence in the 1960s as a member of the vocal group The Blue Belles, later known simply as Labelle, before launching a highly successful solo career in the 1970s and 1980s. Over the decades, she has become one of the most recognizable voices in soul and R&B, with a catalog that includes chart-topping hits such as “Lady Marmalade,” “If Only You Knew,” “On My Own,” and “New Attitude.”
The Westbury stop is part of a broader national tour that highlights LaBelle’s extensive body of work, combining material from her early group years with selections from her solo career. While setlists may vary by venue, the tour is widely expected to focus on her best-known recordings and signature live performances.
Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair, one of Long Island’s most established indoor concert venues, regularly hosts major touring artists and legacy performers. The venue’s theater-style setting has made it a frequent stop for nationally recognized acts, particularly during winter and early spring months when outdoor venues are not in use.
Tickets for the March 14 performance are available through major ticketing platforms, including Ticketmaster and Live Nation, with pricing dependent on seating location. Additional details regarding the show, including seating configuration and accessibility, are expected to be confirmed closer to the event date.
The Patti LaBelle concert adds to a growing list of notable entertainment events scheduled across Long Island in February and March 2026, signaling a busy early-year calendar for live music in the region.
