Nice to see Tenerife thinking big with the news that pop legend, Sir Elton John is to play a November concert in the capital Santa Cruz.

The Santa Cruz mayor had promised some big name acts to push the city and the island on the international music circuit, and they certainly don’t come any bigger than the Rocket Man himself. Santa Cruz council say they have cut a deal with Elton’s production company and ticket details will be released next week.

The 30,000 capacity concert will take place on Thursday November 15 at 9pm on the harbour at Santa Cruz. Several big concerts have already been staged there, and it can be sealed off and controlled fairly easily.

The mayor also said previously that negotiations were underway with Dire Straits and Sting for further concerts. Bring them on, lets see this rock roll.Â
