Billy Joel and Sting's New York show is still on: How to get tickets to the one night only concert

Billy Joel and Sting have both been entertaining audiences for years, and they've combined their star power for several 2025 tour dates where they'll share the stage. The Piano Man and the former Police front man have performed several shows together already, playing some of their biggest hits of the last five decades, and they'll play six more shows together. One of the most anticipated stops on their tour will be one-night-only date at Citi Field in Queens, NY, home of the New York Mets. Joel famously headlined the final two concerts at the Mets' former home of Shea Stadium in 2008, and this summer's concert marks his return to Flushing. Unfortunately, as of March 11, it was announced that four of their other tour dates have been postponed as the result of Joel needing surgery for an undisclosed medical condition. Those venues, in Syracuse, Milwaukee, Charlotte, NC, and Salt Lake City, will be rescheduled for dates in 2026.
