Two pop rock music icons, Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks, will perform joint concert dates at three stadiums this spring, with three more in the works.
After announcing on their social media Wednesday that they would play AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, on April 8, Joel and Nicks on Thursday added a March 10 show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, a city in Los Angeles County, and a May 19 concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.Tickets go on sale Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. local time.
An additional three shows are set to be added, but none in the metropolitan area. The precise breakdown of the performances — onstage simultaneously as duets or trading leads, or one act opening for the other — was unclear.
"Excited to hit the road with the amazing @billyjoel in 2023," posted Nicks, 74, the first woman to be inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, initially with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and solo in 2019. The band Haim, commenting on Nicks' Instagram, wrote, "AM I DREAMING!?!??"
Each of the three stadiums also posted on social media, with Nashville's Nissan venue noting the two acts would be "performing live together for the first time."
Hicksville-raised Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and Songwriters Hall of Famer Joel, 73, has earned five Grammy Awards plus a Grammy Legend Award, a Kennedy Center Honor and numerous other accolades. He has played an unprecedented monthly residency at Madison Square Garden since Jan. 27, 2014, with an immense songbook including "Piano Man," "Uptown Girl," "New York State of Mind," "We Didn't Start the Fire" and many other hits.
Grammy Award winner Nicks, whose acclaimed Fleetwood Mac album "Rumours" (1977) became one of the biggest-selling records ever, has two LPs in the Grammy Hall of Fame: "Rumours," inducted in 2003, and "Fleetwood Mac" (1975), inducted in 2016. Her work as a singer-songwriter includes the band's hits "Rhiannon," "Landslide," "Dreams" and "Gold Dust Woman." She launched a successful solo career with the 1981 album "Bella Donna."
