Elton John's career spans more than five decades, so an Elton tribute reaches almost every age group. Expect glitter, flamboyant glasses and the piano.
About our Elton John tribute
Our Elton John tribute is performed by Tom, who gained years of experience as 'The Piano Man' in production shows on Royal Caribbean cruise ships.
Formats, sets and timings
Tom's 'Young Elton' plays the piano live on a light-up piano, and the show can be extended with a band and dancers. It runs as a full show or as an Elton and party set over two 45-minute spots. With two 45-minute sets, one can open the evening party and one can close it. The 60-minute option is best for a shorter event or a single big moment. Background music can fill the gaps between sets.
The songs guests will expect
Expect the Elton John favourites from the 70s to today:
- Your Song
- Rocket Man
- Tiny Dancer
- I'm Still Standing
- Crocodile Rock
- Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Ask for the act's current set list and tell us about any must-have songs.

Space and set-up
Sound equipment comes with the act; the venue supplies the space and power. Booking with a band? Confirm stage size and access with the venue first, because a band needs more room and time to set up. With dancers, the performance area must be clear and non-slip, without tables pushed up to the edge. With several costume changes, a nearby changing room keeps the gaps short. A live piano show needs a level, stable surface and step-free access for the instrument. Allow roughly an hour for set-up, ideally before the room fills.
Where a Elton John tribute works best
- Milestone birthdays: Especially 50ths, 60ths and 70ths.
- Corporate and gala dinners: A classy headliner.
- Weddings: Your Song is a timeless first dance.
- Theatre and club shows: Strong ticket sales with a broad audience.
Things to check before booking
- Does the venue have space and access for a piano?
- Would you like the band and dancers added?
- Where are the nearest power sockets to the stage?
- Is there a song you can't do without, or one to avoid?
Your answers help the act arrive prepared.
