Tour Details:

Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour kicked off as a planned three-year trek in 2018. But with Covid disrupting the plan in March 2020, the itinerary was halted, resuming with a packed schedule of shows in 2022 that ran from January through April in North America, May through July in the UK and Europe, and July through November in North America. The last three shows in the U.S. took place at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Nov. 17, 19 and 20 — 47 years after the artist famously performed there in 1975. The trek continues into 2023 with tour legs in Australia/New Zealand and the UK/Europe.
