In 1977, Billy Joel dropped his timeless classic “Only The Good Die Young.”
Nearly a half-century later, not only is the Rock Hall of Famer still going strong but he also extended his never-ending tour.
The Piano Man just announced five 2025 stadium concerts with special guests Sting and Stevie Nicks joining him on select dates.
On the brief run, he’s slated to drop into Syracuse’s JMA Wireless Dome on Friday, April 11 for a one-off gig featuring Sting.
A little over four months before that concert, Joel will headline at Belmont Park’s UBS Arena for their previously announced Dec. 31 New Year’s Eve show.
While we can’t guarantee what the New York native has in store for these shows, we can guess you’ll hear all the hits — think “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” “Uptown Girl,” “Movin’ Out” and so many more — along with a number of iconic covers based on our findings at Set List FM.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Billy Joel shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the newly announced 2025 concerts is Friday, Oct. 4.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
