Billy Joel and Rod Stewart will play a concert together on July 18 at Yankee Stadium, the duo announced Thursday.
Joel, 75, famously played the old Yankee Stadium on June 22-23, 1990. He’ll become the first artist to perform at the original venue and the new stadium, which opened in 2009, according to Major League Baseball.
“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,” Yankees CFO Scott Krug said in a statement.
Tickets will go on sale on Jan. 17 at 10 a.m. However, a presale will be available for Citi cardmembers beginning on Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. and lasting through Jan. 16 at 10 p.m.
The Yankees will be on the road in Atlanta on the day of the concert, which immediately follows the MLB All-Star break.
Though Joel famously wrapped up his lengthy residency at Madison Square Garden last year, he has continued performing across the country and in the New York area. He played UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders, on New Year’s Eve.
Joel also has a concert scheduled at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on Feb. 22 and will play MetLife Stadium on Aug. 8 with Stevie Nicks. Prior to their Yankee Stadium show, he and Stewart also be in Pittsburgh on July 5.
