When Billy Joel Concert Tour?
Billy Joel is a famous American musician, singer, as well as composer and whose sales are noteworthy. This man has sold over 150 million records all over the world and has been awarded six Grammy Awards including the Grammy Legend Award. This is good news for Joel fans who are now looking forward to a new concert tour in 2023.
Billy Joel has planned his 2023 tour starting in February and will be performing more than 20 concerts in the United States. Some of the great shows will take place in legendary venues such as Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Dodger Stadium. Shea Stadium and Citizens Bank Park are baseball parks that Joel has previously used as concert venues. Given the size of Fenway Park with a seating capacity of 37,000, the event should be made to take place in an enclosed stadium with adequate seating. The historic ballpark was established in 1912 making it the oldest one in Major League Baseball.
In March, there are several dates that Joel will be performing at the Madison Square Garden. He has played at the venue more than any other artiste and has been performing almost monthly since 2014 with over 100 shows to his name. The residency for the 2023 shows and is a cooperation between Joel and the Madison Square Garden Company. Each of the shows has been sold out therefore if you want tickets, make sure you are among the first to order them when they are released. Joel enjoys performing in the Garden because of the status of the place but also because he was born in the Bronx and grew up in Long Island. Prepare for dancing and be ready to sing along to some of the greatest hits such as Piano Man, Movin’ Out, and Uptown Girl.
April sees Joel perform live in Las Vegas for the first time since 2017. He will make his performance at the newly-built Allegiant Stadium, which hosts the Las Vegas Raiders. This is a fully enclosed domed stadium with a translucent roof and large overhead sliding lanai doors, which are ideal for an open-air concert under the desert sky. There are always a lot of creative people in the audience during concerts in Las Vegas and they may come up with a very different interpretation of We Didn't Start the Fire.
Although the tour is geared towards the East Coast, Billy Joel is set to perform in Nashville in May He will be performing at the Nissan Stadium, the Titans home ground, to over 69,000 people. She Always a Woman is likely to be well received by Nashville audiences given the city's music background. Although Joel has previously staged concerts in Nashville, he has not performed at the giant outdoor stadium before.
He has planned to perform open-air concerts in June and July at specific places such as Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. Joel, a Long Island native, has had many concerts at the baseball stadium in the past. His final performance at Shea Stadium in 2008 was a send of the famous Mets stadium through a sold-out concert. In Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, Joel will perform in front of audiences at sites that have been home to baseball for over a century. These ballparks are very historical when it comes to the Green Monster at Fenway and the hand-turned scoreboard at Wrigley.
The outdoor summer shows should be special events for Joel who was raised near Long Island beaches. For a long time, his oceanfront houses in Sag Harbor have been the place where he could find solitude. Maritime seems to play an element in his work through songs such as The Downeaster Alexa and The Storm Front. In performing in the Fenway show, Joel will be singing just a few miles away from the actual Downeaster Alexa ferry. Joel himself once pointed out that storms coming from Sag Harbor influenced his Storm Front album.
And, in August the tour concludes with three shows on the west coastJoel is planned to perform at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Oracle Park in San Francisco, and T-Mobile Park in Seattle. This show will be very special to him because he has never been to Seattle to perform since 2006. The people in the Emerald City should embrace Joel back with open arms.
As a veteran who has been making music and performing for five decades, Billy Joel's concerts attract people of all ages from the ever-matured baby boomers to the young millennials discovering his gargantuan discography. His endurance cuts across generations due to pop classics like Just the Way You Are, Vienna, and Only the Good Die Young. Olivia Rodrigo and Halsey are two newly rising singers who have also accepted him as one of the greatest songwriters of the period.
The 2023 shows are one of the last chances for fans to see Billy Joel perform his setlist of popular songs live. He intends to perform at Madison Square Garden annually and beyond 2023. However, at 74 years of age and bearing in mind his recent health complications, his days of moving from one city to another in North America are probably numbered. As with Elton John and Bruce Springsteen and other friends who began their farewell tours recently, this could be one’s last opportunity to belt out Piano Man with the actual singer. Purchase your tickets, make your travel arrangements, and prepare to share with others where you witnessed Billy Joel perform during his 2023 live shows.
