Frontier Touring CEO Dion Brant says: ‘It is incredibly rare to have stadium level artists travel all the way to Australia to play one off shows. Don’t miss this magical performer, live at the MCG! In 2016, the Library of Congress selected ‘Piano Man’ for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its “cultural, historic, and artistic significance.” He’s the recipient of numerous other awards, including a Tony (for Movin’ Out, a Broadway musical based on his music), MusiCares Person Of The Year, and an inductee in the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1999, Joel received The Kennedy Center Honors (one of the USA’s top cultural awards) in 2013. To host Billy here in Melbourne is truly special.’ An artist who requires little introduction, Billy Joel is one of the biggest concert draws in the world.
