The concert will be played in August 2024

One of the most popular recording artists and respected entertainers in history, Billy Joel will be performing a one-off show at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Friday, August 9th, joined by special guest Chris Isaak. This incredibly special show will be Billy Joel’s first in Cardiff and his only European performance in 2024.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, December 15th at 10 am and presale registration is now open via aegpresents.co.uk.

Joel at Principality Stadium in Cardiff is the only chance to see the star performer live in Europe next year and follows his sold out 2023 UK date at BST Hyde Park, which saw the Piano Man receive a glowing critical reception across the board.

New York’s quintessential son is one of the greatest musicians of our time. Joel’s songs have acted as personal and cultural touchstones for millions of people across five decades. Joel’s string of 33 Top 40 hits, all of which Joel has written himself, began with 1973’s autobiographical “Piano Man.” Written while Joel was playing in a Los Angeles lounge. In 2016, the Library of Congress selected the song for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its “cultural, historic and artistic significance.” The hits have continued for almost five decades, with three of Joel’s Top 40 songs – “It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me,” “Tell Her About It,” and “We Didn’t Start The Fire” – peaking at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts and 23 Grammy nominations awarded to Joel since he signed his first recording contract in 1972.

He began Madison Square Garden’s first-ever music franchise in January 2014 that continues to this day, performing one show at The Garden each month. Joel’s record-breaking residency will end in July 2024, a little more than 10 years after it first began, marking Joel’s 150th lifetime show which have all sold out at the venue. Joel’s MSG shows have redefined the concept of residency. The scope and ambition of Joel’s residency, where he has played once a month at Madison Square Garden, is unprecedented.

This fall, fans have a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Joel’s life-spanning career from his roots in Hicksville/Levittown, New York through his albums, tours, inspirations, and personal experiences with the first-ever Billy Joel exhibit at the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF). Billy Joel – My Life, A Piano Man’s Journey will showcase over 50 years of Joel’s most cherished items including rare memorabilia, behind-the-scenes video, dozens of awards, rare audio and video recordings, vintage instruments, and historic photos, many donated by Billy Joel and never seen before in public.

On New Year’s Eve, New York’s quintessential son is back in his hometown on Long Island and will perform for the first time at the new state-of-the-art UBS Arena at Belmont. Joel will be helping Long Islanders ring in the New Year beginning at 9:30 pm marking his first concert on Long Island since 2018.

Joel will perform his first concert in Japan in 16 years on January 24, 2024. The Piano Man will play a concert at the Tokyo Dome for a one-night-only event, marking his 12th stop to the country since 1978.
