Elton John is not entirely done with the road. According to venue and ticket listings for 2026, the hit-packed Farewell Yellow Brick Road production reappears for select European dates, extending the global run that already included a massive North American leg.
Selective 2026 shows after the big farewell
The core stadium and arena run of Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour officially wrapped in July 2023 with a final show at Stockholm's Tele2 Arena, but demand has kept the production alive in a more selective form, especially in Europe.
While no new U.S. concerts are currently listed, American fans saw extensive dates between 2018 and 2022, including multi-night stands at Madison Square Garden in New York and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, documented in the Disney+ concert film Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium.
How the farewell tour grew so large
Launched in September 2018 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour ultimately stretched across more than 300 shows on five continents, making it one of the highest-grossing concert treks in history.
The shows combined deep-catalog album cuts with global hits like Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer, Bennie and the Jets and Candle in the Wind, supported by a long-serving band and large-scale video production that framed John's five-decade career.
