Billy Joel and Rod Stewart just announced a one-night only concert at Yankee Stadium on July 18.This show classic rock fantasy will cement Joel, a Bronx native, as the only artist to have headlined at the old Yankee Stadium — the final game of which was played in September 2008 — and the new one.“We are thrilled to host Billy Joel and Rod Stewart this summer at Yankee Stadium,” Scott Krug, the New York Yankees Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer said. “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.”The last time Joel performed at the Yankees’ home field was on June 22-23, 1990 in the middle of his ‘Storm Front Tour,’ which stretched from October 1989 to March 1991.

Both nights, he performed 23 tracks and closed his second encore with “Piano Man.” The subsequent concert film cobbled from footage of the two shows, “Billy Joel Live from Yankee Stadium,” is considered one of the greatest of all time.While we don’t know what the timeless rockers have up their sleeve for this show — although we expect all the hits — we do know the best way to find out is live especially because Stewart will be in the middle of his farewell ‘One Last Time Tour.’Tri-Staters unable to make this gig due to scheduling issues, you won’t have to worry too much about missing catching Joel live in 2025.

He’ll also co-headline with Sting at Syracuse’s JMA Wireless Dome on Friday, April 11 and then alongside Stevie Nicks at MetLife Stadium on Friday, Aug.
