Elton John announces epic return of Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
It's time to pull out those sunglasses, platform boots, and sequins once more. Elton John has finally announced the return of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
The rock icon revealed the long-awaited final dates of his last big shows on Wednesday. The 30-date performances will span North America and Europe, wrapping up an epic goodbye that he began back in January 2018 (the concerts were halted by the COVID-19 pandemic).
John will kick off his comeback May 27, 2022, in Frankfurt, Germany, before bouncing around Europe and North America, with his final two North American shows landing at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium in November 2020. The singer famously played the baseball stadium in the 1970s, rocking a bedazzled Dodger uniform.

"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," John said in a statement. "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… Thank you and I look forward to seeing you in your town."
The tour will make stops in Europe in major cities such as Milan, Liverpool, and Paris, before hopping to North American cities including Vancouver, Toronto, East Rutherford, Chicago, and more. The North American stadium run will kick off at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on July 15, 2022, before concluding with back-to-back performances at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Nov. 19 and Nov. 20, 2022, commemorating his iconic performance at the historic venue in October 1975.
John will conclude the four-year tour in 2023 in Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.
