Elton John To Scale Back To Hordern Size For Sydney

Elton John will return to the venue he used to always play in Sydney before the Entertainment Centre was built … the Hordern Pavilion.

The Hordern show will be Elton’s smallest show on his upcoming tour. “Australia has been one of my favourite countries to tour and some of my most memorable concerts have taken place in venues all across the continent. The Australian audiences always seem to bring out the best in us, and I am certain there will be many more fantastic evenings when we visit in December,” said Elton John.

The capacity of the Hordern Pavilion is 5,500.

One of the most memorable show Elton ever did at the Hordern was in 1982 when he was joined on stage by George Harrison to perform the tribute to John Lennon ‘Empty Garden’.

The upcoming Elton John tour will focus on the 40th anniversary of the ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ album.

The Elton John Band features Nigel Olsson on drums, part of Elton’s original three-piece band, as well as musical director Davey Johnstone (who first recorded with Elton in 1971 and joined the band in a year later) on guitar, Matt Bissonette on bass, John Mahon on percussion, and Kim Bullard on keyboards.

Elton John will perform at the Hordern pavilion in Sydney on December 17, 2015.
