Elton John Returns to Mexico City After 14-Year Hiatus for October Farewell Performances

Elton John will perform two farewell shows at Mexico City's Estadio Banorte on October 2 and 3, marking his first concerts in the country in 14 years, according to Pollstar. The shows, promoted by AEG Presents and Cárdenas, are dubbed Farewell To Mexico and follow a series of pandemic-related cancellations that forced John to scrap three gigs in the capital.
