The Philadelphia Phillies and Live Nation announced Thursday that legendary recording artist Billy Joel will return to Citizens Bank Park this summer as part of his coast-to-coast ballpark tour. Joel, who performed to sell-out crowds at the Philadelphia ballpark in August 2014 and '15, is the first artist to perform three years in a row in the venue's history.
The July 9 show will be Joel's fifth at Citizens Bank Park, and it also sets the record for live performances by any artist at the ballpark.
"We have some exciting news, as the Piano Man is returning to our world-class ballpark," said Phillies executive vice president Michael Stiles.
