Elton John is heading back to Mexico City for one last goodbye.
The music legend will perform two farewell concerts at Estadio Banorte on Friday, Oct. 2, and Saturday, Oct. 3, marking his first return to the city in 14 years. Announced by AEG Presents, Cardenas Marketing Network and Enso Music, the performances will serve as Elton’s long-awaited farewell to fans in Mexico after the Latin American leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour was canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For fans across Mexico and Latin America, the announcement closes a chapter that many feared would never happen.
A Long-Awaited Return
Elton John has shared a special connection with Mexican audiences for decades. He first performed in Mexico City 34 years ago with two concerts at Azteca Stadium during The One tour, introducing generations of fans to his legendary live show. His most recent appearances came in 2012, when he performed two intimate “Elton & Ray Cooper” concerts at Auditorio Nacional.
Now, after more than a decade away, the singer-songwriter is returning for what organizers describe as a once-in-a-lifetime engagement.
“Mexico City has always held a special place in my heart,” Elton said in a statement. “I was truly disappointed that the pandemic kept me from touring Latin America during my Farewell tour which makes this return especially meaningful. I’m thrilled to finally share this very special moment with my fans after all these years…”
The concerts are expected to draw fans not only from across Mexico but throughout Latin America and beyond, offering one final opportunity to celebrate one of music’s most enduring careers.
A Career That Changed Music
Few artists have had the cultural impact of Elton John.
Across a career spanning more than five decades, the superstar has built one of the most celebrated catalogs in pop music with timeless hits including “Rocket Man,” “Tiny Dancer,” “Your Song,” “I’m Still Standing” and “Bennie and the Jets.” His influence stretches beyond chart success, with acclaimed stage productions, award-winning film work and a legacy of advocacy that has made him one of entertainment’s most recognizable figures.
While his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour officially wrapped in 2023, these Mexico City dates offer fans a rare chance to experience Elton live once more in a city that has embraced his music for generations.
