This morning, Target Center announced that Billy Joel will perform at the Minneapolis arena on May 16. The news came at a press conference preceded by two days of speculation—fueled by a teasing Instagram photo of Times Square in 1999—as to what the venue's "major concert" announcement would be today. Tickets will go on sale at 10:00 a.m. on Dec. 19, with prices at $53.50, $93.50, and $128.50.
The “piano man,” 65, has sold over 150 million records worldwide. He’s continued to tour and perform, with gradually decreasing frequency, since releasing his most recent—and possibly final—album of pop songs, River of Dreams, in 1993.
The announcement of Joel's Target Center show comes during the two-week period that falls exactly 25 years after "We Didn't Start the Fire" was the country's number-one song.
