Billy Joel and Elton John, the most successful and longest running concert pairing in pop history, will reunite for their Face 2 Face tour July 21, 2009 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the home of the Chicago Cubs.

A grand finale brings the two superstars and their supporting musicians back together for a closing encore. This includes some of both Billy and Elton’s greatest hits along with an unpredictable selection of rock and roll classics.
