Postponed due to the pandemic, last legs of Elton’s tour at major stadiums will kick off on May 27, 2022 in Frankfurt.
Three and half years after announcing his retirement with a bombastic 7-leg, 250+ shows, three-year "Farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour", and after an unavoidable pandemic delay, the artist announced a final run of dates on his tour for 2022/2023.
The tour will make a final lap across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand next year after the conclusion of the arena dates rescheduled from 2020. The rescheduled 2020 dates begin in Germany on Sept. 1 and cover North America from January to April 2022.
In a statement the artist said “Hello, all you wonderful fans out there. I’m coming to you today with an announcement I’ve been working towards for, well, all my life: the shows that I announce today will be my final tour dates ever in North America and Europe. I’m going to go out in the biggest possible way, performing at my very best, with the most spectacular production I’ve ever had, playing in places that have meant so much to me throughout my career.” John also stated that “This has been an incredible tour so far, full of the most amazing highs, and I look forward to making more wonderful memories with you at these final shows”.
The “friends down under” were not forgotten, 2023 will kicks off with two shows in Auckland, New Zealand on January 27 and 28, followed by soon-to-be-announced dates in Australia before the epic 4-year tour formally concludes there later that year.
Public on-sales begin Tuesday, June 29 in Europe and Wednesday, June 30 in North America. Rocket Club members will have access to an exclusive pre-sale beginning on Friday, June 25 in North America and Monday, June 28 in Europe.
