Billy Joel and Sting—two of the most respected recording artists in history—announce a one-night-only performance at JMA Wireless Dome on Friday, April 11, 2025. The iconic musicians will each perform their most beloved songs from throughout their illustrious careers. The spectacular show featuring Joel’s eighth record-breaking appearance at the JMA Dome and first since 2015, and Sting’s first time at the JMA Dome as a solo artist (he appeared at the JMA Dome twice as a member of the Police in 1982 and 1984), promises to be an unforgettable evening of live music.
“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.”
