Sir Elton John is taking his greatest hits tour to Ontario.
The pop legend is set to perform in Sudbury on March 2 and Kitchener on
March 3. Sudbury Arena's manager says the city is thrilled to host the
music
giant, known for such hits as "Rocket Man," "Bennie and the Jets," and
"Your
Song."
Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday, with ticket prices ranging from
$87.50 to $129.50.
Tour promoter Live Nation says there are no plans to announce additional
Canadian dates.
John is set to spend the bulk of March and early part of April performing
in
Las Vegas.
"This will indeed be the biggest concert in Sudbury's history," Ray
Mensour,
Sudbury Arena manager, said Monday in a release.
"This concert is monumental and will generate tremendous excitement for
everyone in our city."
Kim Kugler of the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex said the show will
create similar buzz in his southern Ontario city.
"In the 58 years of the auditorium's history, this is the most renowned
artist we have ever had on our stage," Kugler said in a release.
The concert is part of John's 2008 Tour: Rocket Man - Number Ones.
A companion CD released last year features digitally mastered hits
spanning
the first three decades of his career.
