Adam Sandler announces ‘You’re My Best Friend Tour,’ MSG show. Get tickets

5 hours ago 1

Adam Sandler is going from “Billy Madison” to Madison Square Garden.

Ahead of the July 25 release date of “Happy Gilmore 2,” the funnyman announced he’s hitting the road this summer and fall on his ‘You’re My Best Friend Tour.’

Starting Sept. 5, Sandler, 58, will swing into 34 arenas all over North America.

That includes not one, not two, not three, but four (!) huge gigs in New York State.

First, the “SNL” alum drops into NYC’s aforementioned MSG on Monday, Sept. 15.

After that, he’ll make merry at Albany’s MVP Arena on Tuesday, Sept. 16, Syracuse’s Upstate Medical Arena on Wednesday, Sept. 17 and Buffalo’s KeyBank Center on Sunday, Sept. 21.

“Let’s have some fun,” the 2023 Mark Twain Prize For American Humor winner shared on Instagram.

These shows will be Sandler’s first since his sprawling, extended 2022-23 trek, which was so exhaustive it included a leg called the ‘I Missed You Tour,’ where he headlined at venues he didn’t get to the first time around. At all shows, he sang songs, told jokes and brought famous pals like Chris Rock, Kevin James, Woody Harrelson, Judd Apatow and David Spade onstage with him (for more details, keep scrolling).

Fans Sandmen and Sandwomen can purchase tickets for all upcoming Adam Sandler shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the ‘You’re My Best Friend Tour’ is Friday, June 27.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Adam Sandler Mark Twain Prize

In March 2023, Sandler was awarded with the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor earlier this year.

At the event, he was honored by past collaborators like Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Chris Rock, Conan O’Brien, Steve Buscemi and many more.

You can find clips from the supremely silly, one-night-only extravaganza here.

Adam Sandler past opening acts

At each and every show on his 2022-23 jaunt, Sandler promised surprise guests.

After combing through our records, we’ve found out just who most of these secretive stars have been via Instagram, Reddit and Spotify.

Without further ado, here’s everyone we’ve spotted performing with Sandler on tour since 2022:

Chris Rock (“The Week Of”)

Kevin James (“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”)

Woody Harrelson (“Anger Management”)

Bobcat Goldthwait (“Shakes The Clown)

Rob Schneider (“The Waterboy”) 

Judd Apatow (“Funny People”) 

Nick Swardson (“Just Go With It”)

David Spade (“Grown Ups”)

Dan Patrick (“Hubie Halloween”)

Sarah Sherman (“Saturday Night Live”)

No word yet on who will take the stage with Sandler at his upcoming gigs but any of the above are certainly possible candidates.

Adam Sandler upcoming projects

The mighty Sandman always has a few irons in the fire.

Here’s what’s coming next for the prolific comedian, courtesy of IMDb.

Happy Gilmore 2 continues the ongoing story of the angry yet sensitive amateur hockey player turned golf wunderkind. This time around, Sandler’s stacked the cast with returning ringers like Christopher “Shooter McGavin” McDonald Ben Stiller and Julie Bowen as well as oddballs like Eminem, Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, Benny Safdie and Eric André.

Jay Kelly is a return to the goofball’s serious side. Noah Baumbach writes and directs this film (yes, film!) about Jay Kelly who “everyone knows” but he “doesn’t know himself.” George Clooney, Laura Dern, Greta Gerwig, Isla Fisher and Patrick Wilson round out the A-List ensemble.

Untitled Adam Sandler/Safdie Brothers project has been teased for years following the woulda been awards season powerhouse “Uncut Gems.” The reported logline of this one — which would allegedly co-star Steve Harvey and Megan Thee Stallion — is “set in the world of high-end sports card collecting in the 1990s, a retired baseball pitcher attempts a comeback as a sports memorabilia agent attempts to capitalize on his success.”
