Two of music’s most legendary performers, Billy Joel and Sting, are joining forces for a must-see concert event at Citi Field in Queens, NY. The Piano Man and the former frontman of The Police have already shared the stage in Las Vegas, and now they’ve added a highly anticipated New York City stop to their 2025 co-headlining tour.
The one-night-only show will take place on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. For Billy Joel, this venue holds special significance—he famously headlined the final two concerts at Shea Stadium before its closure in 2008. Now, over 15 years later, he returns to Flushing for another unforgettable night of music.
Fans can expect a setlist filled with decades of hits, as both artists have shaped the rock and pop landscape for more than 50 years. From Joel’s classics like Piano Man, Uptown Girl, and New York State of Mind, to Sting’s iconic songs including Every Breath You Take, Fields of Gold, and Roxanne, this show promises a mix of nostalgia and timeless performances.
