Um, wow.

More Elton John More Elton John

After last touring the country in late 2015, Sir Elton John has announced he will be making his return to Australia this September for two special Once In A Lifetime shows in North Queensland. 

The iconic UK singer will perform at Mackay's BB Print Stadium and at Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns — his first gigs ever in either city. 

"I always love coming back to Australia," John said.

"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. 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!"

Additional Aussie tour dates are expected to be announced at a later date. 

Tickets for the Mackay and Cairns shows go on sale on Tuesday, 14 March.
