Fans of the piano man prepare yourselves, Billy Joel is returning to New Zealand this December. Billy will take to the stage in Auckland for the first time in 10 years.

Billy Joel is one of this century’s greatest musicians. He has won six Grammy Awards, sold in excess of 150 million albums worldwide, was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and also the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.

Most recently Billy has been awarded the prestigious honour of giving the final ever musical performance at the renowned Shea Stadium. A sporting venue by trade – the home of the New York Mets major baseball league team – it has also had an illustrious music career that has seen performances from everyone such The Beatles and Led Zeppelin to name but a few. It’s a fitting end to have the incomparable Billy Joel, a native New Yorker, close the final curtain on this hallowed ground.

Billy will be playing all the favourites hits – ‘Piano Man’, ‘Uptown Girl’, ‘New York State of Mind’, ‘River of Dreams’ and ‘Tell Her About It’ amongst many others.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Billy’s landmark album ‘The Stranger’, Sony BMG are issuing ‘The Stranger 30th Anniversary Legacy’ edition with a bonus disc of live tracks. This collectors item is being released to coincide with the announcement of Billy’s tour.
