Elton John is returning to St. Louis for another show on his three-year Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which he says will be his final tour.

John will return to the Enterprise Center in St. Louis at 8 p.m. July 7, 2020, after first performing a farewell St. Louis concert in October 2018.

John, the No. 1 top-performing solo male artist, announced 24 new concert dates to his sold-out Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour Wednesday, including St. Louis.

Tickets for the St. Louis show and the other new dates go on sale Friday, Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets and VIP packages can be purchased on EltonJohn.com.

Prices for the show at Enterprise are $66.50, $121.50 and $221.50.

American Express card members can purchase tickets in advance of the general public beginning Thursday, Nov. 14 at 10 a.m. local time through Monday, Nov. 18 at 10 p.m. local time.

A limited number of exclusive VIP packages will also be available starting Thursday, Nov. 14 at 10 a.m. local time. These exclusive offers can include premium tickets, onstage photo opportunities at Elton John’s piano, backstage tours, limited-edition lithographs, custom merchandise and much more.

The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour presale is powered by Ticketmaster Verified Fan — a “fanfirst” technology that was built to help artists combat ticket bots and get tickets into the hands of fans that intend to go to the event. Tickets for these events will be available through registration using Ticketmaster Verified Fan.

Members of The Rocket Club fan club will receive priority access to Verified Fan tickets at the beginning of the official presale period, and Verified Fan registration is required. Verified Fan registration is available now through Friday, Nov. 15 at 10 p.m. local time. Verified TM fan presale will begin Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. and run through Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 10 p.m. local time. Supplies are limited.

The list of newly added concerts, as well as previously announced are below. For more information and to register in advance, visit EltonJohn.com.

These new tour dates complete the second year of the North American leg of Elton’s three-year worldwide tour, counting 43 dates in 2020. The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour will be making stops in new cities across North America such as Hershey, Pennsylvania; Greensboro, North Carolina; Knoxville, Tennessee; Fargo, North Dakota; and North Little Rock, Arkansas.

In addition to the new markets, Elton will return to cities including St. Louis, Toronto, Miami, Chicago, Houston and Kansas City.

The tour will conclude in 2021 and is promoted by AEG Presents.

John wraps 2019 with what he says is one of his most successful years to date. In addition to the incredible success of the tour, his biographical movie “Rocketman” has drawn commercial success and rave reviews, as has Elton’s memoir, “Me,” which hit No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour marks the superstar’s last-ever tour, the end of half a century on the road for one of pop culture’s most enduring performers.

Kicking off to a sold-out crowd on September 8, 2018 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the tour has since then received rave reviews in every market, according to a news release. Taking the audience on a magical journey through his career, the show features some of John’s most beloved songs from his legendary catalogue including “Bennie and the Jets,” “Rocket Man,” “Tiny Dancer” and “Philadelphia Freedom.”

John’s music has taken him to many places, opened many doors and inspired many passions in his life. The audience will experience a rare glimpse into John’s life and the deeply personal meaning behind some of his greatest hits, with mesmerizing, never-before-seen photos and videos shown throughout the show from his incredible 50-year career.
