Elton John Unveils Mammoth Stadium Run, Including North American Farewell Shows At Dodger Stadium

The “Farewell Yellow Brick Tour,” John’s massive swan song to life on the road, was paused after its last performance on March 7 at Bankwest Stadium in Parramatta, Australia. The remainder of the dates were rescheduled and those were announced in September. The tour resumes Sept. 1 at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany.

But with the addition of the stadium run, the Rocket Man extends his North American touring life through at least November, 2022. In 2023 he will play in New Zealand and Australia (dates to be announced) before wrapping up the tour, which began in 2018. The tour is being produced by AEG Presents. 

Sir Elton will make several stops throughout Europe, including Milan, Liverpool and Paris.

The North American stadium shows launch July 15, 2022, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. John will also perform at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey; Soldier Field in Chicago; Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta; Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee; and Minute Maid Park in Houston. 

The back-to-back performances at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on November 19 and 20, 2022 commemorate his iconic performance at the historic venue in October 1975. 

The “Elton John Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour” kicked off to a sold-out crowd on September 8, 2018 in Allentown, Penn., and has reported 126 sold out shows to Pollstar since then, selling 2,598,003 total tickets and averaging 20.619 attendance per show. The tour has grossed a total of $347,261,803 and averaged $2,756,046 per night.

Posting to his social media accounts, Sir Elton wrote, “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. Whether it’s next summer in Frankfurt or at the legendary Dodger Stadium for the grand finale in the United States, I can’t wait to see you all on the road one last time. 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. To all my friends down under, We’ll be seeing you too. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you in your town.”
