Billy Joel

Billy Joel brings his piano-driven songbook to Anfield in Liverpool on 20 June 2026. Singer, songwriter and pianist, he shaped 70s and 80s pop rock with stories set to clear melodies, moving between intimate ballads and more electric tracks. From Piano Man and The Stranger to 52nd Street, Glass Houses and An Innocent Man, his catalog blends rock, pop and a touch of jazz, always anchored by narrative lyrics and the piano at the center.

On stage, Joel navigates decades of music, shifting from barroom sing-alongs to tighter band grooves and quieter moments at the keys. The set often retraces his path from early days to larger arenas, weaving in songs like Piano Man, New York State of Mind, Just the Way You Are, It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me or Uptown Girl, alongside later pieces such as The River of Dreams. Arrangements stay close to the originals while leaving room for solos and the rhythmic drive of the band.

This Anfield date lines up a direct take on songwriting that favors strong hooks, careful arrangements and everyday stories, delivered by a musician who keeps the piano as the heart of the show.
