• Elton John Nov. 13, PPG Paints Arena

Many people purchased tickets to Elton John's October 2018 concert at PPG Paints Arena thinking it would be the last time the famed singer and songwriter would be appearing in Pittsburgh. After all, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour supposedly is John's final extended period on the road.
But John added 25 additional North American dates on the massive three-year worldwide tour and one of them was another date in the Steel City. Presumably, this time will be his last Pittsburgh concert.
