Billy Joel To Play Nassau Coliseum Final Show

Long Island native Billy Joel has been tapped to play the final concert at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday, August 4 before the venue closes for an extensive renovation. The Uniondale, New York venue is expected to re-open on a smaller scale in December 2016.

The Piano Man was raised in nearby Hicksville making his selection a fitting one. “Billy Joel represents the years of joy the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum has brought to residents and serves as an exciting reminder of the decades of entertainment our residents will enjoy in the soon to be renovated coliseum,” said Edward P. Mangano, Nassau County Executive. Joel is in the midst of a record-breaking run of monthly shows at Madison Square Garden in NYC.

Tickets for the show will go on sale Friday, May 1 at 10 a.m. ET.
