While Joel and Sting have never played a full co-headlining show together, the Piano Man has performed at seven of Sting’s Rock for the Rainforest benefit concerts, in 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2008.

Meanwhile, Joel also recently announced that the next performance as part of his Madison Square Garden residency will take place April 26, 2024. Tickets for this event apparently already sold out.

In June, Joel announced that his residency, which began in 2014, would come to an end in July of 2024, which means that just four more shows will be scheduled after the April date.

Joel’s other confirmed upcoming concerts at the arena are scheduled for October 20, November 22, December 19, January 11, February 9 and March 28.

As previously reported, Joel also has several other shows on his itinerary. As part of his ongoing Two Icons One Night co-headlining tour with Stevie Nicks, he’ll be performing November 10 in Minneapolis; December 8 in Phoenix; and March 9 in Arlington, Texas.

He also has a New Year’s Eve show in Elmont, New York, and will perform at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on January 24. Visit BillyJoel.com for his full tour schedule.

As for Sting, the co-headlining concert with Joel takes place between the pair of two-night engagement he recently announced that will feature him backed by a symphony, on February 14-15 in San Francisco and March 8-9 in Philadelphia.

Currently, Sting is winding down a North American leg of his My Songs Tour. He has two shows left on the trek, on October 14 in Irving, Texas, and October 15 in The Woodlands, Texas.

After the stateside outing wraps up, Sting will launch a European leg of the tour that runs from November 23 to December 16. He also has plans to ring in the New Year with a December 31 performance in Dubai. Check out his full tour schedule at Sting.com.

In addition, Sting will perform in New Orleans during Mardi Gras on February 10 with other artists as part of the Krewe of Endymion Parade and Extravaganza, which includes a concert at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
