Elton John opened the new Apple Music Hall at Battersea Power Station on Monday night, September 28. He was the first artist to perform at the new 600-capacity London venue. The concert was streamed live worldwide on Apple Music.

John opened the concert with Your Song. The set also included Bennie And The Jets, Tiny Dancer and Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going To Be A Long, Long Time). The full concert is now available to watch on Apple Music.

Apple Music Hall was introduced earlier this month as the company’s first dedicated live performance venue. It features a 38-foot reconfigurable stage and a 48-speaker Spatial Audio system. John has hosted the weekly Rocket Hour radio show since 2015 and has produced more than 400 episodes.

Apple Music Hall will host Baby Keem on October 2, with other artists scheduled to perform during the rest of 2026. John has performed selected live shows since ending regular touring at the conclusion of his 2023 Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. He will perform two previously canceled Farewell Yellow Brick Road concerts in Mexico City on October 2 and 3.
