British musician Elton John will return to Mexico City after 14 years to perform two farewell concerts on October 2 and 3 at the Estadio Banorte, AEG Presents, Cardenas Marketing Network, and Enso Music reported this Tuesday.
The return of the artist, considered one of the most influential musicians in history, seeks to fulfill a pending commitment to the Latin American public following the cancellation of performances during his farewell tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Mexico City has always held a special place in my heart,” said Elton John in the statement.
“I was very disappointed that the pandemic prevented me from touring Latin America during my farewell tour, which makes this return especially significant,” he added.
The 79-year-old artist performed for the first time at the Estadio Azteca 34 years ago during 'The One' tour. His most recent concerts in the Mexican capital were in 2012, with two special 'Elton & Ray Cooper' performances at the Auditorio Nacional.
The Banorte presale will take place on July 13 at 12:00 local time (18:00 GMT), while Rocket Club members will be able to access a presale on July 15. The general sale will begin on July 16 at noon through Superboletos.
Tickets will range from 990 to 16,000 Mexican pesos ($56.57 to $914 USD), plus service fees. There will also be limited VIP packages, which may include preferred seating, access to hospitality services, and a photo opportunity next to Elton John's piano.
With a career spanning more than five decades, Elton John has sold more than 327 million records, placed more than 85 songs in the Top 40, and has received six Grammy Awards, two Oscars, a Tony, and an Emmy—the latter in 2024, which granted him EGOT status, reserved for winners of the four major American entertainment awards.
His 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' tour, which began in 2018, marked his retirement from the stage after more than 4,600 concerts in over 80 countries.
