Elton John said

“Every year I play concerts all over the world, often in the most extraordinary and exotic places. I never tire of playing, and coming home to play in England in the summer is always a special joy. I have never played in The Isle of Man before, so I’m looking forward to the concert on June 16. The summer audiences always come prepared to enjoy themselves, so be ready to be up on your feet, dancing and singing. Those fans who have been with me since the early days might remember that I recorded a song called Val-hala in 1969 on the Empty Sky album – so that must be a good omen. See you in June!”

Last month Elton released a new album in collaboration with musical legend Leon Russell, which entered the charts around the World in the top ten. A critically acclaimed performance at the BBC’s Electric Proms followed, featuring special guests Leon Russell, Plan B and Rumer. Later this month Elton will undertake a very special performance at the Union Chapel, London, for Absolute Radio, who will broadcast the performance on Christmas day.

The date at Douglas’ Nobles Park will be one of just a hand full of dates that Elton will perform in the UK next summer, and his only solo performance. The Rocketman will also undertake dates with his band in Cardiff, Glasgow, Shrewsbury, Northampton and Brighton.

His show will include over two hours of hits from an incredible back catalogue, including such classics as ‘Benny & The Jets’ , ‘Crocodile Rock’  ‘Your Song’ as well as tracks from his new album, which was released last month to great reviews:

Heat Magazine
‘Sir Elton goes back to his roots for this astonishing collaboration with veteran rootsy singer/songwriter Russell… Expect Grammys galore’.

Daily Mirror
‘Sir Elton is back with a bang, the Union is widely tipped for a grammy… its frankly genius…’

Daily Mail
‘Elton is back to his elegant best’.

Mojo
‘He's back with another incredible record that sounds modern and old at the same time’.

Saturday Telegraph  
‘His best album in 30 years’.
