Elton John Sets October Farewell Performances in Mexico City

Global music icon Elton John will return to Mexico City for two nights on Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3 at Estadio Banorte, bringing him back to the city after 14 years for the pair of farewell performances.

John first performed two shows at the Azteca Stadium 34 years ago as part of The One tour. His most recent appearances in Mexico City were a special pair of “Elton & Ray Cooper” shows at Auditorio Nacional in 2012. Now, the performer returns for an engagement exclusively in Mexico City, designed as a celebration honoring both the artist and the city.

“Mexico City has always held a special place in my heart”, John shared. “I was truly disappointed that the pandemic kept me from touring Latin America during my Farewell tour which makes this return especially meaningful. I’m thrilled to finally share this very special moment with my fans after all these years...”

His monumental “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, launched in 2018, became one of the most successful tours in history, marking his retirement from touring after performing more than 4,600 shows in over 80 countries. Beyond music, Elton is also a dedicated philanthropist. Through the Elton John AIDS Foundation, he has helped raise over $600 million to support the global fight against HIV/AIDS.
