After more than five decades of dazzling audiences worldwide, Sir Elton John has officially announced the final leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour — and fans across the globe are losing their minds. The legendary performer, known for his flamboyant style and timeless hits, confirmed that the tour will kick off in London before wrapping up in Los Angeles, marking the end of an era that redefined live music and showmanship.
Elton’s farewell tour announcement, made earlier today at 12:00 PM GMT, came with an emotional message to his fans: “This isn’t goodbye to music — it’s goodbye to the road.” The statement immediately sent social media into overdrive, with #EltonFarewellTour trending across platforms within minutes. Longtime fans and younger audiences alike are scrambling to secure tickets before they inevitably sell out.
The global icon revealed that the tour will begin at London’s O2 Arena on March 15, 2026, at 8:00 PM BST, a fitting start in the city where his career first took flight. Following that, Elton will travel through Europe, Asia, and North America — performing in cities like Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, New York, and Toronto. Each stop promises a unique stage experience featuring reimagined visuals and a few surprise collaborations with modern artists who’ve cited Elton as a major influence.
Tickets for the first leg go on sale Friday, November 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time, and are expected to vanish within hours. According to insiders, demand has already crashed several ticketing websites. VIP packages, including backstage meet-and-greets and exclusive memorabilia, will also be available for select cities. Fans are advised to register for pre-sale alerts to avoid disappointment.
Elton’s management team confirmed that his final concert will be held at the iconic Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on October 12, 2026, at 9:00 PM PST — a symbolic full-circle moment recalling his unforgettable 1975 performance in the same venue. The concert will reportedly be streamed live worldwide, allowing millions to witness the closing chapter of one of music’s most storied careers.
The farewell tour will not just be about the music; it’s a visual and emotional journey through Elton’s life and legacy. Each performance will feature a cinematic backdrop chronicling his rise from a piano prodigy in Pinner to an international superstar. As Elton described in a recent interview at 4:30 PM GMT, “It’s about celebrating every melody, every lyric, and every fan who’s been part of this incredible journey.”
Beyond the tour, fans can also look forward to a companion documentary set to premiere on Netflix in July 2026, at 7:00 PM PST, capturing behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and unseen moments from the road. Rumor has it that Elton’s husband, David Furnish, is serving as executive producer, ensuring an intimate, authentic portrayal of the Rocket Man’s final bow.
As the countdown begins, it’s clear that this isn’t just another concert series — it’s the closing act of a cultural phenomenon. The world is ready to light the candles and sing along one last time. Whether you’re watching live in London or tuning in from L.A., one thing is certain: at 8:45 PM GMT, on this very day, Elton John reminded us that legends never truly retire — they just take a well-earned encore.
