Billy Joel has confirmed his long-awaited comeback to Australia, scheduling one special concert in December – his first Down Under in under ten years. On 10 Dec, the event will take place at the venerable Melbourne Cricket Ground. It has been confirmed that this will be Joel’s only performance in Australia this year. It is a part of the Victorian government’s Always Live initiative, which sees well-known performers (such as Nick Cave, Cate Le Bon, and Tash Sultana) give exclusive performances in the state to promote economic growth in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
