THE Elton John Show, featuring an energetic tribute to the glam rock legend, has been confirmed to be playing in Carlisle later this year. 

Carlisle's Old Fire Station will host The Elton John Show on Friday, October 13 with tickets on sale for £22. 

Elton John is recognised as one of the most successful musicians of his generation, with over 300 million records sold, and he produced a phenomenal send-off show at Glastonbury last weekend. 

The 76-year-old hinted that Glastonbury could be his final-ever gig in the UK, although the thousands in attendance will testify that he is still a complete performer.

He said: "I never thought I’d play Glastonbury and here I am. It’s a very special and emotional night for me as it may be my last ever show in England, so I better play well and entertain you as you’ve been standing there so long."

Anyone who is still desperate for a taste of Sir Elton can enjoy the tribute show in Carlisle later this year, more than 16 years after the flamboyant superstar visited Brunton Park for a show back in 2007. 

Soul Street Productions promises to bring 'young Elton' back to the stage at his 'energetic best' while performing a catalogue of his greatest hits, from Tiny Dancer to Rocket Man. 

Described as the UK's newest and most exciting Elton John tribute show, the tour will celebrate 50 years of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, after the singer-songwriter's seventh album was released in early October 1973.

The Old Fire Station will be open from 6.45pm on the evening of the event, with doors set to open at 7 pm before the show kicks off at 7.30pm. 

More details can be found on the Old Fire Station website, while tickets can be purchased on Skiddle.
