Farewell Yellow Brick Road

Elton John has announced the first UK shows of his eagerly anticipated ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ Tour, with two huge outdoor shows: at The 1st Central County Ground, Hove on Sunday 9th June and Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday 15th June, marking Elton’s last ever show in Wales.

Elton first played at the home of Sussex Cricket 12 years ago, and this will be his third visit to The 1st Central County Ground, a venue he enjoys playing very much. Elton’s final show in Wales on 15th June 2019 will be his 10th visit to the capital and his 14th visit to the country, having first performed in the city in 1976, playing two nights at the Capitol Theatre.

Says Elton: 'I am very happy to announce the launch of my UK Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour with concerts in Hove and Cardiff. The audiences in the South Coast and Wales have always been some of the most welcoming and exciting I have played in front of over the past forty-two years and the band and I are so excited to say goodbye in the most fantastic way. It’s going to be amazing!'

The ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour will consist of more than 300 shows across five continents, hitting North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australasia before reaching its conclusion in 2021. These dates mark the superstar’s last-ever tour and the end of half a century on the road for one of pop culture’s most enduring performers. Elton’s new stage production will take his fans on a musical and highly visual journey spanning a 50-year career of hits like no one has ever seen before.
