\"Farewell<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Elton John bids farewell to the road almost fifty years on from his debut Australian show, having played 196 concerts and performing to more than 1.5 million people across the country in that time. Since his career began in 1969, he has performed a staggering 4000-plus shows in more than 80 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between November 2019 and February 2020, Elton will traverse Australia and New Zealand, in what will be his most extensive tour of the region to date – the Farewell Yellow Brick World Tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mammoth run of 18 shows (with additional dates – including North QLD – to be announced later in 2019) includes Capital City concerts, along with stops at some of Australia\u2019s finest outdoor venues from the Hunter Valley\u2019s Hope Estate to Rutherglen\u2019s All Saints Estate, Rochford Wines in the Yarra Valley, Queensland\u2019s Sirromet Wines, Victoria\u2019s Hanging Rock and Bathurst\u2019s Carrington Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Farewell
\u201cI always love coming back to Australia. Ever since my first visit in 1971 it has held a very special place in my heart.\u201d  – Elton John\ufeff<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
