The Carnegie Hall event was announced just before Bowie passed away earlier this year. The Radio City performance was added shortly thereafter, with the promoters issuing the following statement regarding the pair of now tribute concerts:

The unexpected death of David Bowie has made this tribute to him into a memorial concert. While the series has had the surprise appearances and performances of the honoree several times in the past, this one will certainly become a poignant honor of his music by his friends, peers, and fans. We are all deeply saddened at this news, the timing of our public on-sale bizarre in its timing, and the show is taking on many more emotions. RIP David and may gods love be with you…

Friday night’s concert is expected to start at 8 p.m. ET. Head here for more information on both events.
