Elton John has announced that he will be performing at the Stadium of Light on Sunday 19 June 2022.
It is part of the final dates for his award-winning Elton John Farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour in the UK, Europe and North America.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public 30 June, 2021 in the UK.
Elton will conclude his world-famous tour at major stadiums which will kick off on 27 May, 2022 in Frankfurt.
The Final Tour will make stops in Europe in major cities such as Milan and Paris before shows in Norwich, Liverpool, Bristol and Swansea next June, as well as a night at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland on 19 June 2022.
The Stadium of Light show will be the last time Elton ever performs in the North East on tour.
Elton will then travel across the pond to take his final bow in North America, playing in major cities including Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago and more.
2023 kicks off with two shows in Auckland New Zealand on 27 and 28 January, followed by soon-to-be-announced dates in Australia before the epic 4-year tour formally concludes there later that year.
Announcing the final dates of his tour on social media, Elton John said: “Hello, all you wonderful fans out there.
“I’m coming to you today with an announcement I’ve been working towards for, well, all my life: the shows that I announce today will be my final tour dates ever in North America and Europe.
“I’m going to go out in the biggest possible way, performing at my very best, with the most spectacular production I’ve ever had, playing in places that have meant so much to me throughout my career.
“Whether it’s next summer in Frankfurt or at the legendary Dodger Stadium for the grand finale in the United States, I can’t wait to see you all on the road one last time.
“This has been an incredible tour so far, full of the most amazing highs, and I look forward to making more wonderful memories with you at these final shows.
“To all my friends down under, We’ll be seeing you too. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you in your town.”
