“We’re thrilled to host Billy Joel and Sting at Citi Field this summer as part of our ongoing concert lineup for 2025,” said Mets VP of Events Nikki Romolo. “Throughout Mets history, there’s always been a special connection with Billy Joel and the Mets. From closing Shea Stadium with the two final concerts in 2008, performing the “Star Spangled Banner” before the 2015 World Series, to “Piano Man” echoing throughout Citi Field regularly during games. We’re looking forward to welcoming this native New Yorker home for his first concert at Citi Field.”
Joel, a New York native, has become one of the most beloved artists in music history. With an outstanding music career spanning 50 years, the singer/songwriter/composer is the sixth best selling recording artist and the fourth-best selling solo artist with more than 160 million records sold worldwide. Composing notable songs like “Piano Man,” “We Didn’t Start The Fire” and “Vienna,” Joel has collected five GRAMMY awards and has been recognized for 23 GRAMMY nominations.
England native Sting formed the band rock The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers before beginning his solo career, earning six GRAMMY awards as a collective and 11 other GRAMMY awards as a solo artist. The artist has announced the STING 3.0 tour, which plans to tour nationwide and internationally. For more information on the STING 3.0 tour, visit here.
