Second and final dates added for Jan 2023

Elton John has added second and final shows for three Australian cities on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour. The news follows overwhelming demand in pre-sales. The dates are Sunday, January 8th at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle; Saturday, January 14th at AAMI Park in Melbourne; and Tuesday, January 17th at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.

Tickets to the newly announced concerts, plus tickets to the original dates, will go on sale on Monday, August 1st via Ticketmaster.

John’s highly anticipated return to Australia for one last tour was made possible by his promise to New Zealand fans to complete his two rescheduled shows from March 2020, which were postponed due to illness and then COVID lockdowns.

Newcastle is in for a truly special event when John takes to the stage with the newly announced show becoming his very first show ever in the city.

By the end of this tour, John will have played 236 concerts in Australia, the third most for any country outside the UK and US.

With an unparalleled career that redefined the cultural landscape and saw over 300 million albums sold, John is — after two years of COVID interruptions — back on stage. John embarked on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in September 2018 – its milestone, multi-year itinerary comprising over 300 shows across five continents. Currently on the road in North America, John will perform his final concert on US soil at Los Angeles’ iconic Dodger Stadium on November 20th which will be included in a Disney+ documentary about his 50 year career.

Elton’s love of Australia and New Zealand was on full display when the farewell when the tour first reached Australasia in November 2019, with a staggering 34 Australian and six New Zealand dates announced and over 705,000 tickets sold across a three-month period. Fans were treated to some of the most joyful and celebratory concerts John’s ever performed in the region, his hit laden set garnering rave reviews in both nations.

Wrapping up this leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road run next January, this will be Down Under fans’ very last chance to catch this legendary performer live on stage. If you missed out last time, or if once wasn’t enough, come along and say goodbye to this beloved performer.
