Joel and Stewart announce concert

Billy Joel and Rod Stewart will play a concert together 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 at 10 a.m. Jan. 17. However, a presale will be available for Citi cardmembers.
