It is only when you go to an Elton John show that you begin to realise how many of his songs you know very well. With almost 50 years of success under his belt (and more than that number of hit singles), there's no way you'll get to hear all of them.
Bringing his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour to Ireland in a new stage production that he has been on the road since early May, the shows on Wednesday and Thursday, June 12th and 13th, we are informed, will be some of his last in Ireland. Factor in the number of people that will have seen the splendid biopic, Rocketman, and you have a night of pop classics from a master songwriter you will quite likely never forget.
Elton’s farewell tour will have had more than 300 shows across five continents by the time it comes to a close in 2021. If you can’t get to these gigs, he’s back in Ireland next year.

What time does everthing kick off?
