Elton John has announced that he will add 25 additional North American shows to his sold out Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, with the new shows running from September 4 to November 16, 2019.
Earlier this year the legendary performer announced that this tour would be his final stint on the road. With over 300 dates planned thus far, the epic tour launched on September 8th in Allentown, PA and is scheduled through to 2021 – crisscrossing North America then moving on to Europe in April 2019, followed by Asia, South America and Australasia. Fans can expect more dates to be announced and no final date has been confirmed yet.

“This is quite a night for us – and for me, especially – because this has been two-and-a-half years in the making,” John told the audience at the tour’s first concert. “I’ve had the most wonderful time, making records, touring, playing with the band. … It’s been an incredible journey, and one that I’ve enjoyed so much.”
Though he has not yet revealed what he plans to do once the tour ends, John announced recently that he has a new record deal with Universal Music Group, which will take over management of his catalog, publishing, merchandise, brand management and licensing rights.
“In UMG we’ve got the perfect partners to support all aspects of my creative endeavors,” John said in a statement. “The UMG family share the values that we hold dear – nurturing artistry, restless creativity and innovation. I’m proud and delighted to have them stand alongside me as I embark on the next phase of my career.”
