We Can Survive, with Megan Moroney, Michelle Branch, Bebe Rexha and Ashe on the bill, comes to UBS Arena in Elmont on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026. The event begins at 7 p.m. The arena recommends the LIRR, which runs direct trains from Grand Central Madison and Penn Station in about 30 minutes.
Date, start time and lineup
The show is on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, and the UBS Arena event page lists the start as 7 p.m. The page names the acts as Megan Moroney, Michelle Branch, Bebe Rexha and Ashe.
The arena has not yet posted door or parking lot opening times for this show. Those times appear on the same event page, so check it again in the days before Oct. 28. The page also offers group tickets through a separate form.
UBS Arena is at 2400 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont, NY 11003, at Belmont Park in Elmont on Long Island.
Getting there by LIRR
The arena’s Plan Your Trip page recommends the Long Island Rail Road for the trip both ways. Direct trains run to Elmont-UBS Arena Station from Grand Central Madison and Penn Station, and the ride takes about 30 minutes.
Elmont-UBS Arena Station is in fare Zone 4. It sits north of the arena campus, and the walk takes 10 to 15 minutes. Free shuttles also run between the station, the arena and Emerald Parking.
For train schedules, the arena points riders to MTA.info and the TrainTime app. The page also asks you to activate your ticket before leaving the arena “for best connectivity service.” For fares and getting around the city before and after the show, see our New York transport guide.
Getting there by bus
Three bus lines serve UBS Arena: the MTA Q82, the MTA Q2 and the NICE Bus N6. The arena’s campus map marks the MTA bus stop.
Driving and parking
UBS Arena has five parking areas, and all of them can be reached only from the Cross Island Parkway:
- Belmont Park Garage: Exit 26A
- Diamond, Ruby and Silver parking: Exit 26B (Hempstead Turnpike East)
- Emerald Parking: Exit 26D
The arena strongly recommends buying parking in advance through Ticketmaster, which shows every lot on sale for each event. Lots vary by event, and a lot that does not appear is sold out or not in use for that show. General paid parking is sold on event days at Emerald Parking. It is not sold in the Diamond and Ruby lots.
For concerts, parking bought at the arena lots costs $5 to $10 more. The arena says it cannot verify parking passes bought from third-party resellers.
Put your parking area into your GPS by name, for example “UBS Arena Emerald Parking” or “UBS Arena Belmont Park Garage.” Parking is banned on many residential streets near the arena, so check local rules before you leave the car.
Rideshare and drop-off
The rideshare and drop-off/pick-up area is on the north side of the arena. Drivers can reach it only through Cross Island Parkway Exit 26D and Green Road.
Inside, a Rideshare Waiting Area on the main concourse by section 118 has phone charging while you wait for your car.
Bag policy
UBS Arena has a restricted bag policy. Bags no larger than 12 by 12 by 6 inches are allowed and go through X-ray or visual screening, depending on size. Backpacks of any size are not allowed.
Medical bags and baby bags are allowed after screening. Every other bag is turned away at the door. Bag check is available in the Great Hall.
