Billy Joel is making his way back to New Zealand for a one-night-only show at Auckland's Eden Park - just in time for Christmas.
It's been 25 years since The Piano Man held a Kiwi audience in a stadium show and 14 since performing in New Zealand, but this December fans of the singer-songwriter-composer legend will be able to see Joel present some of his greatest hits.
With tickets on sale from July 18 for Vodafone customers and July 21 for general sales, punters would be wise to get in quick given Kiwis' fervour for the now 73-year-old artist.
Famous for modern-day classics such as Uptown Girl, Just The Way You Are and We Didn't Start The Fire, Joel has amassed 57 million streams here in New Zealand, had four number one albums and ten Top 10 albums.
