Elton John At Gillette Stadium: MBTA Offers Round-Trip Commuter Route

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Elton John is nearing his final tour stops in New England this week, and it just got easier to get to Gillette Stadium from Boston.

John’s July 27 and 28 shows will be his final New England tour dates, and his first time performing at Gillette Stadium since 2009, when he performed with Billy Joel on the Face to Face 2009 Tour.

His "Farewell Yellow Brick Road The Final Tour" will mark his last North American tour dates, with stops at iconic venues throughout the continent before ending at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles with three shows in November.
