Fresh Off "Retirement Tour" Elton John To Headline 2025 Concert For Cures At San Diego's Petco Park

Fresh off his "retirement tour", music legend Elton John is set to return to San Diego this spring for a one-night-only benefit concert at Petco Park. The iconic singer-songwriter will headline the 2025 Concert for Cures on May 9, an event hosted by Curebound, a local nonprofit dedicated to funding adult and pediatric cancer research.

John is no stranger to Petco Park, having delivered a show-stopping performance at the stadium during his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour on November 9, 2022. That sold-out concert saw the superstar and his six-piece band perform 23 songs over two hours and 23 minutes, treating the audience of 40,000 fans to a career-spanning setlist that included classics like Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. His heartfelt farewell tour left an unforgettable mark on San Diego, making his return to the same stage all the more special.

This year’s Concert for Cures follows a strong lineup of past headliners, including Alicia Keys and Ed Sheeran at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. The event has become a cornerstone in San Diego’s philanthropic and music scene, raising funds to support groundbreaking cancer research initiatives.

Presale tickets for John’s highly anticipated performance will be available starting March 4, with general all-access tickets launching on March 7 at 10am. VIP experiences and premium table seating details can be found on the Padres website. Those looking for tickets should be ready for a hefty price tag. Prices begin at $300, with the highest price tag being $75,000 for a VIP table for eight in front of the stage.Ìý

Beyond his legendary music career, John is widely recognized for his humanitarian work, particularly in the fight against HIV/AIDS. His philanthropic efforts have helped break stigmas and expand access to treatment worldwide, making his participation in the Concert for Cures even more meaningful.

San Diego music lovers and philanthropists alike can expect an unforgettable evening as one of the greatest performers of all time takes the stage once again for a cause that touches millions.
