Sir Elton John will be returning to Australia a year after his last visit, to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Rocket Man.

It was forty years ago when John released the single Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long Long Time) way back in April 1972. The single broke many records across the globe, and also achieved the highest chart position ever held by a John single at that time.

Performing with a full band, John's shows will commemorate the 40 years since the release of Rocket Man... and will also be a celebration of the 65 year old artist's greatest hits from his multi-decade career.

Tickets for all shows go on sale on Monday 6 August at 9am via Ticketek. Details of his shows are below.
