New dates continue to roll in for Elton John and Billy Joel as they lay the groundwork for the initial leg of their upcoming shared Face 2 Face tour.

With the tour planned to run off and on over the next two years, new shows will continue to be added periodically to the schedule. We will attempt to update this post as new shows are added..

John and Joel plan to open the concerts with a series of duets, playing twin pianos and trading vocals, and then each superstar will perform separately, according to a press release, with the piano men teaming up again for a grand finale. The shows are expected to include some of their greatest hits alongside a selection of rock-and-roll classics.

John and Joel first toured together in 1994, and their most recent “Face 2 Face” outing was a sold-out, 24-date trek in 2003. The Grammy winners are the most successful and longest-running concert pairing in pop history.
