Piano men set to begin trek in March.
Elton John and Billy Joel are serious about getting back on the road again together. The singers have announced the first three dates for their upcoming “Face 2 Face Tour,” which was also the name they used for their previous tours together.
LiveDaily reports Jacksonville, Fla.; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Atlanta, Ga. are the only cities confirmed so far for the tour’s start in March. Tickets will go on sale for these shows this Saturday (12/6).
John said in a statement, “I love touring with Billy. I have the greatest respect for him and we’re such good friends.”
John and Joel first toured together in 1994 and their last outing was in 2003, where they played 24 dates of sold-out shows. Promoters said that the singers will open the show on twin pianos and perform duets by trading vocals. They will then each have a headlining set with their own bands. As an encore, John and Joel will perform together with both their backing bands.
