Billy Joel Melbourne Show 2008
Fans of the piano man prepare yourselves! Welcome back Billy Joel to Australia this November and December for a limited run of concerts.
Billy Joel is one of this century's greatest musicians. Winning six Grammy Awards, selling in excess of 150 million albums worldwide, being inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and also the Songwriter's Hall of Fame are just a few of the accolades Billy has clocked up over the years. Indeed it is thirty years since the release of Billy's landmark album 'The Stranger'. To celebrate this anniversary, Sony BMG are issuing 'The Stranger 30th Anniversary Legacy' edition with a bonus disc of live tracks.
Most recently Billy Joel 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.
TOUR DATES:
Wednesday 26 November - Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Saturday 29 November & 1 December - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
Thursday 4 December - Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Tuesday 9 December - Acer Arena, Sydney
