The Piano Man is on his way back to Tampa.

This morning, Amalie Arena announced a Billy Joel concert set for Friday, February 7.

According to a press release, the 70-year-old American pop icon sold-out the room in 2014, 2016 and 2018, which isn’t a surprise since his monthly residency at New York City’s Madison Square Garden has sold out 60 times in a row. We last saw Joel at an Orlando show this year.

Tickets for the Tampa show go on sale Friday, October 18 at 10 a.m. EST and will cost $49.50-$169.50. Amalie Arena has interestingly promises that tickets will be available all day.

“Due to high levels of congestion during the on sale time, it can often be difficult to purchase tickets right away,” a rep for the arena wrote in a release. “Please continue to check Ticketmaster as tickets will be available throughout the day.”
