Elton John resumed his global Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center, on Wednesday, Jan. 19. The Rocket Man welcomed a completely sold-out crowd for the performance.

Elton John opened up his show with “Bennie and the Jets” and kept the hits rolling with a continuous tracklist of chart-topping ballads including “Tiny Dancer,” “Rocket Man,” “I’m Still Standing and More.” He also performed his recent hit “Cold Heart (PNAU REMIX)” from his chart-topping 2021 studio album The Lockdown Sessions.

Elton John is set to play over 40 arena dates throughout North America until April 2022, after which, he’ll embark to Europe to top off his remaining arena tour dates. Over the summer he’ll take his final bow in North America with performances in Vancouver, Toronto, East Rutherford, Chicago and more. The North American Stadium run will kick off at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on July 15, 2022, and come to a close at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Nov. 19 and 20, 2022.
