WZLX presents Elton John & Billy Joel's "Face 2 Face" tour at Gillette Stadium July 18!

Elton John and Billy Joel, the most successful and longest-running concert pairing in pop history, will reunite for their Face 2 Face tour at Gillette Stadium on Saturday July 18th in their only New England appearance of 2009. Elton and Billy open the concert with a series of duets, playing twin pianos and trading vocals. Each artist then performs a set with his own band. A grand finale brings the two superstars and their supporting musicians back together for a closing encore. This includes some of both Elton and Billy’s greatest hits along with an unpredictable selection of rock and roll classics.

This will be Elton John and Billy Joel’s first trip back to Foxboro since two sold-out concerts at Foxboro Stadium in 1994. Upon the much anticipated return in 2001 and 2002, they returned to Boston with four sold-out concerts at the FleetCenter, now known as TD Banknorth Garden.

“I love touring with Billy. I have the greatest respect for him and we’re such good friends,” Elton John said.

"The great thing about performing with Elton is that he is such a good piano player and that makes me have to dig deep to keep up with him, not to mention I've got the best seat in the house-only one piano away from Elton John!” said Billy Joel.

Concert dates announced this year for the Face 2 Face tour immediately sold-out and include two concerts at Toronto’s Air Canada Center, and multiple nights at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Philadelphia’s Citizen Bank Ballpark, in addition to concerts in Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, and Tampa.

Elton and Billy last toured together in 2003 with 24 sellouts. According to Billboard Magazine the Face 2 Face tour starring Elton John and Billy Joel was “the most successful touring package of all time.”
