As previously reported, Joel also has several other shows on his itinerary. As part of his ongoing Two Icons One Night co-headlining tour with Stevie Nicks, he’ll be performing November 10 in Minneapolis; December 8 in Phoenix; and March 9 in Arlington, Texas.

Currently, Sting is winding down a North American leg of his My Songs Tour. He has two shows left on the trek, on October 14 in Irving, Texas, and October 15 in The Woodlands, Texas.
