Elton John has been confirmed as one of the first international stars due to play at the newly built Krakow Arena, with the singer booked to perform on 5 November.

The flamboyant British singer will visit Krakow as part of his ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road Tour’, which celebrates the 40th anniversary of acclaimed album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. The double album includes hits such as ‘Saturday night’s alright for fighting’ and ‘Candle in the Wind,’ although the singer will also perform tracks from across his career.
