February 12, 2010 - Elton John is to appear live in Corpus Christi in April. Although no stranger to Texas, this will be the first time ever that Elton has played a concert in Corpus Christi. The concert will take place on April 6, 2010, 8PM at the AmericanBank Center Arena. Elton and his band will perform their ‘Rocket Man –the Greatest Hits Live’ concert, featuring number one chart hits and classic album tracks from throughout Elton’s incredible five-decade career.
Elton’s band comprises Davey Johnstone on guitar, Bob Birch on bass, John Mahon on percussion, Nigel Olsson on drums and Kim Bullard on keyboards. One of the most successful live acts on the road today, Elton and his band put on the kind of show you never forget: the entire audience standing, dancing and singing along with much-loved classic songs such as “Your Song”, “Daniel”, “Rocket Man”, “Bennie and the Jets” and many, many more.

We expect every seat in the arena will be filled the night of the concert - we are fortunate to have such a spectacular artist as Sir Elton John play our venue."
