Elton John’s Australian tour last December was massive, but unfortunately fans on the West Coast and the in the territory missed out. Not this time.
Elton has announced he’ll return to Oz in May for three very special shows. He’ll kick off the tour at Perth’s Members Equity Stadium on May 10, then play the Sydney Entertainment Centre on May 12, before wrapping things up with a show at Darwin’s Tio Stadium on May 17.
“I was blown away by the public support last year when we took a chance on North Queensland and Tassie. The fans came out in force and produced two of the biggest shows of the 2007 tour. Now we’ve put faith in the Northern Territory and they’ve answered the call. I’m so excited that Elton will be visiting this part of Australia and playing for fans who just don’t get big name entertainment there,” Michael Chugg said on his website.
“We’ve also been able to make good that we couldn’t incorporate a Perth show into the last run so this is great news for the fans on the West Coast. Elton loves Australia and we love that he keeps coming back and performing for the fans far and wide.”
I was lucky enough to see Elton play out here last year, and he was superb. If you get the chance to see him this year I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Tickets go on sale at 10 am on 8 April.
