SIR Elton John will visit North Queensland and Wollongong on his upcoming Australian tour.
The singer will perform shows in Cairns, Mackay and Wollongong as part of the Australian leg of his world Once In A Lifetime tour in September.
Elton said he always loves coming back to Australia.
"It holds a very special place in my heart, ever since my first visit there at the start of my world-wide career in 1971," he said.
"My band and I are really looking forward to playing there again in September and this tour will be even more memorable because it will be the first time I have ever played Mackay and Cairns, which I can't believe but there you have it.
"If the audiences are anything like those at all of the other shows we have done in Queensland over the years, everyone will surely be in for a wonderful crazy night."
The tour is being promoted through Chugg Entertainment and will include four Australian locations.
The fourth show will be announced in coming days.
Tickets for the Once In A Lifetime tour go on sale March 14.
Tour dates:
- September 22, BB Print Stadium, Mackay
- September, 24 WIN Stadium Wollongong
- September 30, Cazaly's Stadium, Cairns
