Billy Joel and Elton John Concert Tickets ALBANY -- The Elton John and Billy Joel concert tour will play the Times Union Center this summer, bringing to town what is being described as the biggest show of 2009.

An announcement is expected Tuesday about the concert tour that has sold out in every city it has played this year. The entertainers have not been together since 2003.

The Face 2 Face tour kicked off in March in Jacksonville, Fla., and then went on to the Toyota Center in Houston to play to another packed house.

The date in July for the Albany performance will be revealed at a Tuesday morning press conference at the center at which Mayor Jerry Jennings will have proclamations and keys to the city for the performers. Also on hand will be Albany County Executive Mike Breslin, Times Union Center General Manager Bob Belber and New York City-based AEG promoters.
