Music legends Billy Joel and Sting are teaming up for a one-night-only extravaganza set to take place at Salt Lake City's Rice Eccles Stadium. This highly anticipated performance, scheduled for May 23, 2025, marks the first time the two icons will share the stage in Utah. According to ABC4, tickets are expected to go on sale on October 4 at 10 a.m. via LiveNation, with a presale targeted at Salt Lake City residents happening five days earlier, on September 30.
Rumors of a memorable night have been swirling, promising a selection of hits from both artists' storied careers. It's been a minute since either artist graced Salt Lake City with their presence, Joel's last performance dates back to 2017, and Sting sang his chart-toppers as recently as 2023. As reported by KSLTV, neither musician has ever performed at the Rice Eccles Stadium before, setting the stage for a historical evening.
The forthcoming concert adds another layer to Rice-Eccles Stadium’s rich tapestry of events. The venue has hosted powerhouse performers including U2, Kelly Clarkson, and NSYNC, and recently, has become a hub for country music giants like Garth Brooks and Luke Combs. Beyond its musical prestige, the stadium has a significant sports legacy and, as Deseret News reported, it's slated to be a focal point for the 2034 Winter Olympics, according to comments made by officials during a press conference.
This special concert joins the canon of notable events at the stadium and is a testament to Live Nation's knack for bringing marquee names to the Beehive State. The buzz around Joel and Sting’s shared billing adds to Utah's impressive roster of big-ticket concerts, drawing fans of multiple generations for what is poised to be, an unforgettable night under the lights of Salt Lake City's landmark venue.
