Elton John Coming to Baton Rouge This Fall

Elton John and his band return to Baton Rouge for a very special show at the Baton Rouge River Center! The concert will feature band members Nigel Olsson (part of Elton’s original three-piece band) on drums, Davey Johnstone (who first recorded with Elton in 1971 and joined the band a year later) on guitar, John Mahon on percussion, Kim Bullard on keyboards and Matt Bissonette on bass. It happens on Wednesday, October 5th at 8 PM and is one of only nine cities on this special tour featuring the hits you love AND some classic album tracks, plus selected tracks from his latest release Wonderful Crazy Night. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, April 15th at 10 AM at Ticketmaster.com.

“The simple truth is I want to spend more time with my family and less time touring,” said Elton. “I am all too aware of how precious the time ahead is. My sons are growing up so quickly. Their early years are just flying by and I want to be there with them”.

The set list for this show will include classics like “Your Song”, “Rocket Man”, “Bennie and the Jets”, “Philadelphia Freedom”, “Crocodile Rock”, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”, and more.
