Elton John Announces Farewell Concerts At Mexico City’s Iconic Estadio Banorte

Elton John isn’t done saying goodbye to fans just yet. The legendary musician announced two shows in October at Mexico City’s iconic Estadio Banorte, marking John’s first performance on a Mexican stage in 14 years.

The once-in-a-lifetime engagement named Farewell To Mexico takes place Oct. 2 and 3 and is promoted by AEG Presents, Cárdenas Marketing Network and Ensō Music.

John last performed in Mexico City at Auditorio Nacional in 2012, and he returns this year to perform in a country that was notably left out of his record-breaking “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” farewell tour, which grossed more than $894 million and sold more than 6 million tickets, according to Pollstar Boxoffice.

“Mexico City has always held a special place in my heart”, Elton shared. “I was truly disappointed that the pandemic kept me from touring Latin America during my Farewell tour which makes this return especially meaningful. I’m thrilled to finally share this very special moment with my fans after all these years…”

Tickets for the exclusive concerts at Estadio Banorte, also known as Estadio Azteca, which has been touted as one of the premier hosts at this year’s FIFA World Cup, are available to Banorte Bank cardmembers from July 13 at noon local time until July 15 at 11:59 p.m. Rocket Club members can register for early access at EltonJohn.com, and the artist presale begins July 15 at noon local time.

A limited number of exclusive VIP packages will be available, offering reserved seats, VIP photo opportunities at John’s piano, preshow hospitality, custom merchandise and more. Visit EltonJohn.com for more information.
