Taking place on 25 June next year, this show will mark Elton John's final UK show of the music legend's last ever tour. 

“I couldn’t be more excited to be headlining the Pyramid Stage”, Elton John said in a statement. “As the end of my Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour comes into view, there is no more fitting way to say goodbye to my British fans,”.

“They have been beyond brilliant, and have supported me through all the highs and lows of my career … I can’t wait to embrace the spirit of the greatest festival in the world".

Having confirmed this news earlier on Friday (December 2), Glastonbury organisers said this, “We are incredibly excited to announce that the one and only @EltonOfficial will headline the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night at Glastonbury 2023, for what will be the final UK show of his last ever tour". 

In a separate statement, Emily Eavis had this to say. 

“It gives me enormous pleasure to let you know that the one and only Elton John will be making his first ever Glastonbury appearance, headlining the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday night next year", she wrote. “This will be the final UK show of Elton’s last ever tour, so we will be closing the Festival and marking this huge moment in both of our histories with the mother of all send-offs". 

“We are so very happy to finally bring the Rocket Man to Worthy Farm!".
