      Yeah it was supposed to be ~3.5 years, mid 2018 to late 2021, but the pandemic pushed it out by 18 months.

            Elton John's farewell tour breaks and extends records atop the Boxscore report for January 2023. Get the details.


            Elton John Breaks & Extends Records Atop January Boxscore Report


            The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour brought in another $40.9 million during the first month of 2023.

            Though the calendar year has flipped and Billboard’s January Boxscore report celebrates the beginning of a new year in touring, the top of the charts carry over what became a constant toward the end of 2022. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour earned $40.9 million during the month, securing his seventh at No. 1 on the Top Tours chart overall, and third in the last four months.

            Beyond extending his record for time atop the ranking, notably, January’s Oceania leg of John’s sprawling farewell tour pushed the entire run’s gross to $817.9 million – making it the highest grossing tour of all time. It surpasses Ed Sheeran’s The Divide Tour ($776.4 million), which set the previous high mark in 2019, and U2’s The 360 Tour ($736.4 million), which had held the title since 2011.

            Simultaneously, John leads the Top Boxscores chart with $11.3 million at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on Jan. 17-18. Since the charts launched in February 2019, it’s the ninth time an artist has ruled both rankings, and the second for John, who first did so in January 2020. BTS is the only other act to double-up twice.

            John’s $40-million January breaks down to two stadiums shows apiece in Newcastle (Jan. 9, 11), Melbourne (Jan. 14-15) and Sydney (Jan. 18-19), plus single shows in Brisbane (Jan. 22) and Christchurch (Jan. 25).

            Not only does John crown the Boxscores ranking, he follows himself at Nos. 2 (Melbourne), 4 (Newcastle), 6 (Brisbane), and 11 (Christchurch). Blanketing the chart with four top 10 appearances, he set himself apart from the pack in stadiums during Australia and New Zealand’s summer, while the Northern winter kept last year’s holdovers dormant and 2023’s from beginning later into the spring.

                        MAJOR UPDATE FROM BILLBOARD BOXSCORE

                        Gross: $853 million
                        Attendance: 5.5 million
                        Shows: 293


                        With eight shows in Australia and New Zealand in January 2023, Elton John officially secured the highest grossing tour of all time. And after early reports from his final European leg — including a nine-show sweep at London’s O2 Arena — he further extends the record, passing the $850 million mark. His farewell run launched in 2018 and was scheduled for three years. That plan is still on, though interrupted by two years of COVID lockdown. He began in arenas before the pandemic and graduated to global stadiums after, accelerating the tour’s rise from a top 20 contender to the all-time champ. While on tour, John’s career earnings have grown to $1.898 billion, making him the highest grossing solo artist of all time.
                        Newly reported scores:

                        March 2023
                        $10,091,489 / 56,143 tickets / 6 shows

                        Individual scores:

                        $3,309,770 (2 shows)
                        17,030 / 17,030 (100%)
                        3Arena / Dublin, Ireland

                        $3,138,562 (2 shows)
                        18,730 / 18,730 (100%)
                        M&S Bank Arena / Liverpool, UK

                        This leaves $3,643,157 and 20,383 tickets split between Belfast, Northern Ireland and Birmingham, UK for the remaining dates from March 2023. No breakdown of those scores as they're below the monthly Top 30.

                        Billboard's increase to $853m as the running total through April 20th would account for the 10 UK shows (9 of which were London) which will report in April's boxscore. This would mean the London shows averaged well above $2m per night!

                            Missing scores reported:

                            Resorts World Arena, Birmingham: 12,159 (100%) - $2,077,333
                            SSE Arena, Belfast: 8,224 (100%) - $1,565,824

                            It seems the London BST date from last summer and Glastonbury this summer will be the only 2 non-scorable dates for this tour.

                                      The Farewell Yellow Brick Road has now crossed 300 shows played worldwide, with the 300th show in Berlin, Germany on May 11th. 283 of the shows are boxscored, only the Hyde Park London show is not as this was part of the BST Festival. 45 more shows are to be reported, 44 of which are scorable.

                                      Elton is currently saying nightly the show count before the last song, but he is saying 2 shows more than have actually been played as the shows in Verona, Italy (2019) and Liverpool, UK (2020) were cancelled. The show at Mannheim, Germany for May 13th was also cancelled due to illness. It is very unlikely they will reschedule any of the cancelled shows, and so the final show count for this tour looks like it will be 328, with 326 scored shows (Glastonbury is also unscorable).
