Elton John announces Páirc Uí Chaoimh date for his ‘Farewell’ Tour show

By Katie Mythen-Lynch July 15, 2021July 15, 2021

He’s still standing.

And now Elton John has confirmed he’ll be standing in front of his Cork fans one more time next year; the music legend will bring his Farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour to Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Friday, July 1st, 2022.

Aiken Promotions released a number of teasers on social media this week, one featuring a few bars from the 1973 anthem Benny and the Jets.

Now the news has been confirmed:

As part of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road, The Final Tour, @eltonofficial has announced he will be performing at @PaircUiCha0imh , Cork on Fri 1st July 2022. Tickets on sale at 9am Thursday 22 July 🚀 #EltonJohn pic.twitter.com/mD3jLx9Vz6

Tickets for the Cork show will go on sale via Ticketmaster at 9am on Thursday, July 22nd, 2021.

After more than half a century on the road, the four-year Elton John Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour kicked off in 2018, thrilling audiences around the world with a catalogue of hit songs from Sir Elton’s 50-year career.

And it looks like this might well be your last chance to catch the Rocket Man live; the megastar, one of the top-selling artists of all time, is planning on retiring to be with his kids, sons Zachary, ten, and Elijah, eight, and husband David Furnish.

“After the tour finishes, I’m very much looking forward to closing off that chapter of my life by saying farewell to life on the road.” Sir Elton said.

“I need to dedicate more time to raising my children.”
