The Harrogate concert is being staged on Bank Holiday Tuesday, June 5th 2012.

Elton, who will be the first artist ever to play the Yorkshire Event Centre, said: "The first time I played in Yorkshire was in August 1970 at the Yorkshire Jazz Folk and Blues Festival near Halifax. Anyone who was there will probably remember the terrible weather rather than the music!

Since then I've played Leeds and Bradford several times, and last year Scarborough for the first time, but I've never played in Harrogate before. So I'm looking forward to my first summer visit to this famous English spa town, and you can expect a night of hit songs, dancing and fun - whatever the weather!"
