Elton John plays Thomond Park stadium in Limerick on June 6.

Tickets priced between €79.25 and €116.25 are on sale Monday November 10 at 9am.

“We’re delighted to be running a big, outdoor gig in Limerick for the first time,” enthuses promoter Peter Aiken. “The new Thomond Park is a really spectacular venue, which can comfortably hold 25,000 people. We’ve staged all of Elton’s recent Irish gigs from Stormont Castle to Croke Park, and he always puts on a spectacular show.”

Fans will be treated to the touring version of John’s $3 million Red Piano extravaganza, which has grossed $140m during its three-year, 200 show Las Vegas Caesar’s Palace residency.

Also out this week is a Red Piano three-disc DVD/CD and Blue-ray featuring such Dwight-sian classics as ‘Benny & The Jets’, ‘Philadelphia Freedom’, ‘Tiny Dancer’, ‘Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting’, ‘Candle In The Wind’, ‘Believe’ and ‘Rocket Man’.
