Billy Joel & Other Metro Atlanta Concerts For April 24-30

SMYRNA, GA -- Big-name artists come in and out of metro Atlanta all the time, but this week there's none bigger than Billy Joel, who will serenade SunTrust Park on Friday, April 28.

The concert by the "Uptown Girl" artist comes two weeks after the Atlanta Braves opened play at their new ballpark in Cobb County.

Joel last came to Atlanta in February 2015 for a concert that got rave reviews at Philips Arena. At the Braves new stadium, he hopes to surpass the effort.
“It is a thrill to have one of the greatest entertainers of our time perform the first concert at SunTrust Park,” Derek Schiller, Braves president, business, said in a news release obtained by WSB-TV. “We look forward to hosting Billy Joel and are eager to kick off the first of many concerts at SunTrust Park with such a legendary artist.”

April is just about done but you've still got time to buy tickets and plan your evening enjoying a major music act. The area's concert venues, from the Cobb Energy Centre in Smyrna to the Buckhead Theatre, offer great seats to enjoy the shows.
