The Billy Joel Experience is a Dutch tribute band led by pianist and singer Alexander Broussard, performing Billy Joel's catalogue since 2018. What started as a one-off sold-out premiere has grown into one of the Netherlands' most successful tribute productions, with multiple national theatre tours, dozens of TV appearances, and international shows in Belgium, Germany and South Africa. In 2022 the band reached the final of The Tribute: Battle of the Bands on SBS6 and performed as co-headliner at a sold-out Ziggo Dome. Their crossover production Nocturne pairs the band with German string quartet La Finesse to explore the tension between the classical and pop sides of Joel's work.
The Billy Joel Experience tour is active with the crossover production Nocturne, in which the German string quartet La Finesse highlights the classical dimension of Joel's music.
In June 2025, the band played three exclusive concerts with Liberty DeVitto, Billy Joel's original drummer, at the AFAS Circustheater Scheveningen, the Beatrix Theater Utrecht and the Stadsschouwburg Antwerpen.
Stage Entertainment announced that the band will begin their fifth national theater tour in October 2025.
For the 2024-2025 season, the band put together the show The Greatest Hits in Concert, following the success of The Album Tour in the previous season.
After finishing second in The Tribute: Battle of the Bands, the band performed as co-headliner on May 7, 2022 at a sold-out Ziggo Dome.
