Billy Joel and Sting have announced a one-night-only performance at the JMA Wireless Dome on Friday, April 11, 2025. Both artists will perform their most beloved songs from their careers. This event marks Billy Joel’s eighth appearance at the JMA Dome and his first since 2015. It will be Sting’s first solo performance at the venue; he previously performed there twice with The Police in 1982 and 1984.

“We’re excited to have both Billy Joel and Sting back at the JMA Dome,” says Pete Sala, vice president and chief campus facilities officer, managing director of JMA Dome. “Both have been here before and have helped draw some of our biggest audiences to date. With this show, Billy will be extending his record number of Dome performances to eight over a nearly 25-year period. We’re grateful to again work with Live Nation on another big concert event and can’t wait to host it. It’ll be a great show.”

Tickets for the general public will go on sale starting Friday, Oct. 4, at 9 a.m. via LiveNation.com. Citi cardmembers can access presale tickets from Monday, Sept. 30, at 10 a.m. until Thursday, Oct. 3, at 10 p.m., through the Citi Entertainment program.

Billy Joel is recognized as one of the most popular recording artists in history with over 160 million records sold worldwide. His music has been significant for millions over five decades. The Joel Foundation has donated millions towards music education and humanitarian aid.

Sting has sold over 100 million albums both as a member of The Police and as a solo artist. He has also appeared in more than 15 films and produced critically acclaimed works like “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.” Alongside his wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989 to protect rainforests and indigenous peoples.
