Elton John, Bright Light Bright Light

Elton John and his band will visit Aberdeen on Saturday 20th June 2015 as part of their European tour. The open air summer show, for approximately 14,000 fans, will be the first that Elton John has performed for the Aberdeen audience since his sold out show at Pittodrie Stadium in 2004. This spectacular concert will be staged in a specially constructed outdoor arena, with fully reserved seating throughout, and will be the first ever concert staged in this way at AECC.

In order to bring the Rocket Man back to Aberdeen, Elton’s team will be creating a venue from scratch, outdoors on the south side of the AECC complex, with a full arena seating layout and a stage measuring 50 metres wide and 20 metres high.

The tour will feature iconic hits and classic album tracks from throughout his incredible five-decade career, including a selection of songs from his highly acclaimed album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary with a Deluxe Edition. Elton John’s band includes original member Nigel Olsson on drums, as well as Davey Johnstone on guitar, Matt Bissonette on bass, John Mahon on percussion, and Kim Bullard on keyboards.
