On July 16th, Billy Joel will be the last artist to perform at Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets. (The team is moving next year to Citi Field right across the street.) Shea, which opened in 1964, first welcomed concert audiences with The Beatles' iconic August 1965 performance, later adding the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Police and Elton John to the list.
Tickets for Joel's concert, billed as "The Last Play at Shea, From the Beatles to Billy", go on sale Feb. 16th. Sid Bernstein is not scheduled to appear.
