Rome, June 20 - American pop balladeer Billy Joel and Canadian rocker Bryan Adams will be following in illustrious footsteps at this year’s free concert at the Colosseum .

The two pop giants, who will play in the shadow of the ancient Roman monument on July 31, are eager to see their gig is no less spectacular than ones given in the same place by Paul McCartney, Simon & Garfunkel and Elton John .

The former Beatle and the legendary New York duo drew crowds of 500,000 to their concerts in 2003 and 2004 .

Sir Elton managed to top that with 600,000 last year .
