WHO IS THE SUPPORT ACT
Queensland folk/roots duo Busby Marou have been hand picked to open for Elton who has an interest in new and up-and-coming artists.
WHAT WILL ELTON SING
Going by previous concerts this year, it’s expected the megastar will perform around 22 hits from his 50-year career.
“Bennie and the Jets”, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” and “Candle In The Wind” seem certain to be included in the list.
