Farewell nights in Mexico City

The Mexico City dates at Estadio Banorte are billed as unique farewell shows rather than a continuation of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

For fans planning the trip from Germany and across Europe, the key dates are already fixed. He performs on Friday, October 2, 2026, and Saturday, October 3, 2026, with both shows taking place at Estadio Banorte in Mexico City, a stadium setting that underlines the scale of demand for his return.

Presales, ticket prices and fan access

The ticketing schedule is clearly laid out in the official announcement. A Banorte Bank presale runs from Monday, July 13 at 12:00 p.m. local time in Mexico City until Tuesday, July 14 at 11:59 p.m., followed by a Rocket Club artist presale on Wednesday, July 15 from 12:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. General on-sale then opens on Thursday, July 16 at 12:00 p.m. local time.

Ticket prices for the Mexico City concerts range from 990 MXN to 16,000 MXN plus service fees, giving fans options from standard seats up to premium categories. For German-based listeners doing the currency conversion and travel math, those prices span roughly the range from affordable entry to high-end VIP-style experiences, in line with Elton John’s recent stadium and arena appearances.

How Elton John’s music connects to Germany

Even though the newly announced shows take place in Mexico, Elton John’s work has long resonated with audiences in Germany. His classic albums like Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and Too Low for Zero have been staples on rock and pop radio, and tribute productions regularly tour German venues, from theaters in Düsseldorf to clubs in Bochum and Krefeld.

A separate tour schedule for tribute act Elton & The Joels lists multiple German dates in cities such as Simmertal, Dortmund, Putbus, Kiel, Leverkusen, Unna, Hürth, Krefeld and Bochum during 2026, showing how enduring his songbook is on German stages even when the original artist is not touring Europe. This underlines the continuing live demand for songs like Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man and Your Song across the country.

Where Elton John stands now

With the Mexico City concerts confirmed for October 2 and 3, 2026 at Estadio Banorte, Elton John’s next announced live dates are those two special farewell shows in Mexico City.
