Pop icon Elton John announces show at Peterborough's ABAX Stadium on Sunday 11th June 2017.
ENDS A SPECTACULAR YEAR WHICH INCLUDED HEADLINE PERFORMANCE AT BBC RADIO 2 LIVE IN HYDE PARK AND THE APPLE MUSIC FESTIVAL2016 has been a vintage year for Elton John; he released his 33rd studio album Wonderful Crazy Night to rapturous applause, and wowed audiences across the UK with his epic live show, which culminated in a headline performance at Hyde Park in London for BBC Radio 2. Last night he also performed at the annual Apple Music Festival.
From Longleat to Leicester, Edinburgh to Exeter, Elton John brought his unmistakable showmanship to the stage. The Guardian exclaimed how the Meadowbank Stadium show was “a hit parade of peerless pomp”, with the Herald observing “the maestro's unbridled raison d'etre of showbiz classicist...sits somewhere between Liberace and Mozart”.
It was no different at the Lincolnshire Showground, where The Lincolnshire Echo simply declared, “when Sir Elton John came to Lincoln, Lincoln had one wonderful, crazy night”. In Liverpool, the Echo observed, “every song was note perfect, packed with the kind of energy that belies his years”
Now fans in Cambridgeshire can look forward to what will be one of the music events of the year as Elton John announces a show at the ABAX Stadium in Peterborough on the evening of Sunday 11th June, as part of his worldwide Wonderful Crazy Night Tour. Taking to the stage, Elton will perform songs from his latest studio album ‘Wonderful Crazy Night’, as well as his most-loved hits from his stellar career.
On having Elton coming to perform, Alex Harris Commercial Manager for Peterborough United Football club commented:
“We are delighted to welcome one of the most highly acclaimed and successful solo artists of all time to the city of Peterborough.
