Dates are trickling in for Billy Joel's early 2006 roadtrip, which supports a soon-to-be-released box set, and marks his first major solo tour in almost seven years.

The piano man has booked January shows in Tampa, Boston and New York City, and an early April stop in Las Vegas. As previously reported, Joel's schedule also includes a January show in Jacksonville, FL; and a March engagement in Philadelphia.

Tickets for both Florida shows and the Philly concert are scheduled to hit the box office on Saturday (11/19). On-sale dates for the other three shows weren't available at press time.

The upcoming run will be Joel's first major solo outing since his 1998-99 trek, during which he played for 1.1 million fans over the course of 64 shows, and grossed $47 million, according to a press release.

Since then, Joel's major concert appearances have generally been co-headlining dates with fellow singer/pianist Elton John. The two last toured together in 2003, and grossed $46 million from just 24 shows. More>>>
