Elton John Adds Yet Another Date To Upcoming Aussie Tour

Due to tickets selling out in a matter of minutes yesterday, Sir Elton John has announced he will play a second show in Hobart during his Once In A Lifetime tour this September. 

The music legend will take to the stage twice at Derwent Entertainment Centre, with the second gig locked in for Thursday, 28 September. 

Revered Aussie promoter, Michael Chugg, said of the news, "I trusted in Tassie, I knew they'd bring it home.

"The turnout for tickets on Elton's first show was fantastic, and I'm trusting it will be just as strong for this second one. But it's really Elton we have to thank for agreeing to go again."

Tasmania wasn't the only city that sold well either, as more than 50,000 tickets for John's shows in Mackay, Cairns and Wollongong were snapped up yesterday. 

Tickets for the new Hobart show go on sale from 9am next Monday (20 March). For more details, including a look at all of the Once In A Lifetime dates, head over to theGuide.
