BATHURST, Central West, NSW, Australia – Elton John fans from across the Central West were greeted to the news on Saturday that Elton John has included Bathurst among just two New South Wales stops on his final Australian tour.

The news was broken by local radio stations 2LT and Move FM on Saturday. Elton will perform at Carrington Park, Bathurst on Wednesday 22 January 2020.

Tickets will go on sale this month, on 15 February.

“Elton’s continuing love affair with Australia knows no bounds, proven by this farewell tour, and the breadth and depth of the itinerary, showing his commitment to his many Australian fans”, promoter Michael Chugg said Saturday.

“On his very last tour, he wanted to return to some of his favourite cities, while also playing for fans in a couple of never-before-visited locations.”

Elton bids farewell to the road almost fifty years on from his debut Australian show which was in Perth in 1971, 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 4,000-plus shows in more than eighty countries.

The tour which is titled  ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ culminates more than half a century on the road and an unparalleled career that has redefined the cultural landscape and seen him claim his place as a true global icon.
