Billy Joel and Sting will perform at Bank of America Stadium on May 10, 2025, Live Nation and Tepper Sports & Entertainment said in a highly anticipated announcement Thursday morning. Why it matters: Charlotte is drawing more and more big-name acts who are taking note of Bank of America Stadium's high ticket sales.

Billy Joel will once again be taking the stage with fellow legends Stevie Nicks and Sting in the new year, and has announced a run of five one-night-only concerts in different U.S. cities. Joel will open his stadium trek with Sting at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte,

Billy Joel has played The Bank before, he was last in the Queen City in April 2022 and played for the stadium crowd. It’s been a bit longer since Sting last performed in Charlotte - his last show in town was in September 2004 at the PNC Music Pavilion (then known as the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre).
