As Shea Stadium gets ready to close its doors to the Mets and events, it has been announced that Billy Joel will play the last concert there. According to Billboard: “Billy Joel will be the last artist to play at New York’s Shea Stadium with a July 16 concert billed as “The Last Play at Shea, From the Beatles to Billy.” The show comes in the midst of the New York Mets’ final season at Shea; the team moves into its new home at Citi Field in 2009.”
Apparently Billy Joel will be the only artist to ever play both Yankees Stadium (two nights in 1991) and Shea Stadium. Tickets go on sale Feb. 16.
