Elton John Returns for a One-Night-Only Performance at Curebound Benefit Concert
Elton John is back—at least for one unforgettable night! The legendary music icon, who wrapped up his massive Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in 2023, is stepping back onto the stage for a special cause. On May 9, 2025, Sir Elton will headline the Concert for Cures at San Diego’s Petco Park, a benefit event supporting Curebound, a nonprofit dedicated to funding groundbreaking cancer research.

For fans who thought they’d never see him perform live again, this is a golden opportunity. Elton John, known for classics like Rocket Man , Tiny Dancer , and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road , has been largely absent from full-scale concerts since retiring from touring. In the past two years, he’s only performed at a handful of events, and most of those appearances were brief. But this time, he’s coming back for a full stadium show—something that hasn’t happened since his last tour stop in San Diego back in 2022.
This event isn’t just about music; it’s about making a difference. Curebound has raised over $45 million for cancer research, funding more than 140 study grants across 20 different cancer types. Elton John's personal connection to the cause makes this performance even more meaningful—he battled prostate cancer in 2017 before embarking on his farewell tour. His return to the stage for this benefit is a powerful statement, reinforcing how music can unite people behind a shared mission.
The Curebound benefit concert has a history of featuring big names, with past performers including Alicia Keys and Ed Sheeran. But bringing Elton John out of retirement for a stadium concert? That’s a game-changer.
Tickets go on sale to the public on March 7, with a presale starting on March 4 at curebound.org . While prices haven’t been announced yet, anticipation is already sky-high. Given Elton’s legendary status and the rarity of this performance, this is bound to be one of the most in-demand concerts of the year.
So, if you thought you’d seen the last of Elton John on stage, think again. Mark your calendars—May 9 at Petco Park is set to be a night of music, magic, and making a difference.
