A few more dates have surfaced for the 2009 edition of the Face 2 Face tour, an outing featuring co-headlining piano men Billy Joel [ tickets ] and Elton John [ tickets ].

The latest additions to the schedule include Tampa, FL; Charlotte, NC; and Anaheim, CA. Tickets for the Anaheim show are scheduled to go on sale Monday (12/8); all of the other currently confirmed shows go on sale Saturday (12/6), according to promoters. Six shows are now locked in; details are in the itinerary below.

John's official website notes that additional shows are in the works for May, and that additional US shows will follow later in the year. Overseas shows are in the works for 2010, along with additional stops in North America.

John and Joel first toured together in 1994, and their most recent Face 2 Face outing was a sold-out, 24-date trek in 2003.

"I love touring with Billy," John said in a statement. "I have the greatest respect for him and we're such good friends."

Added Joel: "The great thing about performing with Elton is that he is such a good piano player and that makes me have to dig deep to keep up with him. Not to mention, I've got the best seat in the house--only one piano away from Elton John!"

According to promoters, John and Joel plan to open on twin pianos and trade vocals on a series of duets. A headlining set by each artist with his own band will follow. The shows will end with an encore featuring both headliners and their backing bands.
