Elton John is set to make his one and only visit to Sunderland this Sunday, 19 June, as he takes to the stage at the Stadium of Light as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the Rocket Man icon’s appearance on Wearside after it was confirmed that he would play at the Stadium in June last year. The star was sadly forced to postpone some dates on his Farewell tour to 2023 after suffering a nasty fall back in September, but luckily for Sunderland fans the gig is going ahead this weekend.
The concert promises to follow in the footsteps of Ed Sheeran ’s time at the Stadium earlier this month, which saw 115,000 fans descend on Sunderland over two nights to watch the star perform. The Stadium is expected to be packed once again for Elton’s appearance on Sunday - although for any fan who’s yet to snap up a seat, tickets are still available for the gig on Ticketmaster .
