The Rockettes (Photo: MSG Entertainment) NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) - In celebration of "Christmas in July," Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (MSGE) announced today that the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes(R), is now even more spectacular - with the addition of a brand-new Rockettes number and immersive new technology that will expand how audiences experience America's most beloved holiday show. Due to last year's overwhelming demand, the Christmas Spectacular will return to the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall(R) with 230 performances this holiday season - the most ever at the Music Hall since the show's debut in 1933. Tickets for the 2026 Christmas Spectacular, running November 4, 2026 through January 4, 2027, are on sale now at www.rockettes.com/christmas. "On the heels of a record-breaking 2025 season that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Rockettes, we are excited to step into the dance company's next century with the addition of a brand-new scene that will showcase the versatility of the Rockettes while honoring the dance traditions that are foundational to their legacy," said Jessica Tuttle, Executive Vice President, Productions for MSG Entertainment. "This year, in addition to the new scene, fans will experience a whole new perspective on the Christmas Spectacular, bringing them even closer to the magic than ever before." With the addition of the new scene, the Rockettes will now perform in ten show-stopping numbers, meaning audiences will still enjoy fan favorites including "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," "New York at Christmas," "12 Days of Christmas," and "Dance of the Frost Fairies." The new immersive technology will allow audiences to see the Rockettes precision closer than ever before via a variety of different perspectives and builds upon the production's recent innovations, which have already extended the show beyond the stage via expansive digital projections, holographic technology, and fairy drones. For the 2025 production, the Christmas Spectacular debuted Radio City's new Sphere Immersive Sound technology which uses next-generation 3D audio beamforming and wave field synthesis to transform how audio is delivered, resulting in controlled, consistent, and crystal-clear audio for audiences, regardless of where they are seated in the venue. The 2025 run of the Christmas Spectacular, which celebrated the Rockettes' centennial, saw the production's highest attendance in 25 years - with more than 1.2 million visitors from all 50 states and 125 countries across 216 performances. Since it opened at Radio City in 1933, the Christmas Spectacular has brought holiday joy to more than 73 million people from around the world.
Madison Square Garden sues media outlet over allegations of secret database tracking celebrity 'risk scores' WIRED says, 'We stand by this reporting, and plan to vigorously defend it against this baseless and ridiculous lawsuit' Massive security preparations are underway for NBA Finals Game 3 in New York City due to Donald Trump's planned attendance. Madison Square Garden Entertainment has filed a defamation lawsuit against WIRED magazine over a recent report alleging the venue keeps a secret watchlist of celebrities. The 40-page lawsuit accuses WIRED of using stolen data to invent a false narrative that MSG maintains an internal blacklist targeting LGBTQ celebrities. The article, titled "Madison Square Garden Kept a List of Gay Celebrities," claims MSG used internal databases to track characteristics of VIP guests and celebrities, including their race, sexual orientation, and gender identity, while assigning "risk scores" to famous fans.

(Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images) "WIRED combed the dark web, obtained data stolen from MSG by an extortionist hacking group, and cherry-picked fragments of that data to manufacture a false narrative portraying MSG as targeting the LGBTQIA community for discriminatory purposes," MSG wrote in the lawsuit, obtained by USA TODAY Sports. MSG accused WIRED and its reporters of intentionally ignoring dozens of normal information fields on the list, such as addresses, phone numbers and dietary restrictions. According to the lawsuit, these mundane fields prove the data was simply part of a standard system used for "relationship management purposes, not discrimination." WIRED said in a statement on X that it stood by its reporting and vowed to fight the case. "Earlier today, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by this reporting, and plan to vigorously defend it against this baseless and ridiculous lawsuit." "We look forward to continuing our coverage of MSG, and on billionaire James Dolan's use of technology across his entertainment empire. It's one part of our wider mission and the critical job of journalists, now more than ever: holding power to account," they added. According to the article, MSG's database contains nearly 40,000 names, with roughly 400 assigned "risk scores" ranging from low risk to "DO NOT HOST." WIRED claimed the scores track social media criticism rather than physical safety threats, allegedly flagging celebrities who speak out against the venue to block them from getting free tickets. According to WIRED, comedian Adam Pally was labeled "not to be hosted," while hip-hop stars Lil Jon and DaBaby were allegedly categorized as "high risk." Country star Morgan Wallen was also marked as "medium risk." The report also highlighted that close to 100 names were labeled as "LGBTQIA," including pop culture figures Ricky Martin and Phoebe Bridgers. The data was initially exposed after the international cybercriminal collective ShinyHunters breached MSG's systems and dumped 45 gigabytes of files online after Dolan refused to pay an extortion ransom.

(Angelina Katsanis/Getty Images) WIRED reported that a member of the hacking group claimed they partially targeted MSG because of Dolan's past controversial surveillance practices. At his venues, which also include the Las Vegas Sphere and Radio City Music Hall, the faces of everyone who enters are scanned. Dolan has previously drawn intense scrutiny for using facial recognition technology to enforce a list of people who are not allowed to enter the venues, including lawyers associated with active lawsuits against his company, according to reporting by the New York Times.

And now Madison Square Garden is suing Wired over its surveillance reporting. The New York venue has made good on threats to seek legal action over Wired's reporting based on a massive info dump by a hacker group. Credit: Ajay Suresh Management at New York sports/concert/wedding venue Madison Square Garden has now moved forward with stated plans to sue tech outlet Wired, USA Today reports. Madison Square Garden Entertainment filed a lawsuit today targeting the Condé Nast publication, as well as contributing editor Noah Shachtman, writer Maddy Varner, and Global Editorial Director Katie Drummond, over a story Shachtman and Varner published on July 9, digging into the venue's recordkeeping on various famous people who've passed through its doors. The lawsuit claims that the article was "unethical and inflammatory," using information acquired from hackers, and saying writers then "cherry-picked fragments of that data to manufacture a false narrative portraying MSG as targeting the LGBTQIA community for discriminatory purposes." The Wired article in question (headlined "Madison Square Garden Kept A List Of Gay Celebrities") dug into MSG records that were released online in recent months by hacking group ShinyHunters - including what's purported to be a "talent" database the Knicks venue keeps of celebrities who've attended games at the Garden. Wired's reporting noted, among other things, that these records tracked "risk" levels for at least some of the celebrities in question (in part, purportedly, as a way to track who not to give free tickets to over behavior on social media, and, in at least some cases, over publicly talking shit about Garden owner James Dolan). It also allegedly contained an entry for sexual orientation, with 93 of the 40,000 or so people in the database marked "LGBTQIA." In the lawsuit, the Garden's lawyers claim that the entire database, presumably including the fields for orientation, was simply part of the company's "relationship management" efforts, writing that "Defendants knew there was no nefarious 'list' of gay celebrities, and Defendants knew that the stolen data contained dozens of fields per customer - including mundane fields such as address, phone number, and dietary restrictions - used for relationship management purposes, not discrimination." Wired has responded to the lawsuit, issuing a statement in which it said "Earlier today, Wired learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by this reporting, and plan to vigorously defend it against this baseless and ridiculous lawsuit. We look forward to continuing our coverage of MSG, and on billionaire James Dolan's use of technology across his entertainment empire. It's one part of our wider mission and the critical job of journalists, now more than ever: holding power to account." Per the lawsuit, MSG is seeking a jury trial, along with compensatory, presumed, special, and punitive damages; a correction or retraction of the false and defamatory statements and implications; and attorney's fees.
Lawsuits say 26 million records breached. MSG Entertainment has been the victim of a data breach exposing the personal information of venue visitors, according to several new lawsuits against the company. The breach, first reported by technology publication 404 Media, was announced by hacker group ShinyHunters on Tuesday (June 16). The hackers reportedly went public with 42 gigabytes of stolen data after MSG Entertainment - which runs Madison Square Garden, the Chicago Theatre, Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theatre - refused to pay a ransom. Three consumer class action lawsuits quickly followed on Tuesday and Wednesday (June 17), accusing the company of negligence for failing to stop the attack. The lawsuits claim that the 26 million records exposed by ShinyHunters are made up of personal information and "threat assessment profiles" for MSG Entertainment venue visitors, including celebrity attendees. These files allegedly identify avid New York Knicks fan Ben Stiller as "low risk" while flagging rapper A Boogie Wit da Hoodie as "high risk." The fans in these lawsuits claim MSG Entertainment left itself open to this hack by failing to operate adequate cybersecurity defenses, even though the company maintains significant customer databases that make it a prime victim for malicious actors. The legal complaints note, for example, that MSG famously has a controversial policy of collecting facial recognition information from venue visitors. "This is an action against defendant MSG for their recidivist disregard for consumer privacy and MSG's complete and utter failure to properly secure and safeguard personally identifiable information," reads one lawsuit filed on behalf of New York resident Carlos Avalos, who attended a concert at one of the company's venues in 2025. MSG Entertainment had not made any public disclosures about the data breach as of Thursday morning (June 18). Reps for the company did not immediately return requests for comment.
