Elton John Glastonbury 2023 Performance: What To Expect?
Speaking to BBC Radio 2, Elton John revealed that this was the first time he was ever asked to play at the annual music festival.
"I have played festivals, and have really enjoyed them, but of course Glastonbury is the crème de la crème," he confessed. "To be honest with you, it's the first time I've been asked to play it."
Elton John will be performing on the last day of the Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage. Other artists like Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Wizkid and Queens of the Stone Age, are also performing.
For him, the timing was just right, as he is a "great believer in serendipity and fate." He even described the moment to be the "most wonderful way to sign off in England."
After his performance on Jun. 25, 2023, in Glastonbury, John would have his final seven shows in Europe - specifically in Paris, Zurich, Copenhagen, and Stockholm.
Officially, the UK leg of the "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour culminates on Jun. 18, 2023, in Glasgow. After that, he will be stopping by for a show in Paris at the Accor Arena and returns again for a second night after the Glastonbury set.
