Billy Joel will return to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, in early 2025 for his first concert at the venue in more than 16 years. The show is scheduled for February 22, and is the second concert the Piano Man has confirmed for the coming year.

Joel previously played a 10-concert residency at the arena in 2008. The sold-out engagement spanned from a May 23 show through a July 5 performance, according to Setlist.fm. The venue is located on the grounds of the Mohegan Sun Casino.
Some pre-sale tickets for the concert are available now. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 13, at 10 a.m. ET.
Mohegan executive Tom Cantone issued a statement expressing his excitement about Joel’s return to the arena.
“After we did 10 record sellouts in a row I was hoping some day for an encore,” Cantone said. “Billy Joel just confirmed what Billboard referenced our venue as—‘The Cathedral of Music,’ and that will stand for The Longest Time.”
The upcoming Mohegan Sun Arena show also will mark Joel first open-to-the-public concert in Connecticut since 2008. In 2022, he played at the Greenwich Town Party event, which was an performance exclusively for Greenwich, Connecticut, residents and those who work in the town. Billy also took part in a Q&A event in November 2011 at the University of Connecticut in Storrs.

As previously reported, Joel wrapped up his long-running monthly residency at Madison Square Garden in New York on July 25. Since then, Billy has played one other concert, on August 9 in Cardiff, Wales.
Billy has six more shows lined up for 2024, and, as mentioned, two confirmed for next year.
His next concert is a joint performance with Rod Stewart on September 13 in Cleveland. Joel also has three co-headlining dates with Sting: on September 27 in St. Louis, October 25 in San Antonio, and November 9 in Las Vegas.
