Two of the most iconic names in music will be taking the stage at one of the most iconic venues in the world this summer.
Billy Joel and Rod Stewart will be playing Yankee Stadium on Friday, July 18 in a one-night only performance.
Joel has performed at Yankee Stadium before, in two celebrated shows on June 22 and 23, 1990. "Billy Joel Live From Yankee Stadium" became one of the best concert films of all time, and it can still be seen on PBS quite often.
This concert will give Joel, who just completed a residency at Madison Square Garden, more history, as New York Yankees Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Scott Krug points out.
"We are thrilled to host Billy Joel and Rod Stewart this summer at Yankee Stadium. Their timeless catalogs and impact on the history of rock and roll music cannot be overstated, and we expect a magical evening with them in the Bronx. It is also particularly fitting that Billy Joel, who was born in the Bronx and is so iconically identified with New York, will become the first musical act to headline a show at both the original Yankee Stadium and the current Yankee Stadium."
