Opened back in 1962, it’s the third oldest baseball stadium in use. In terms of seating capacity, it’s the largest existing baseball stadium. However, apart from baseball games, the Dodger Stadium has also hosted numerous concerts over the years.
Dating back to 1975, a festive crowd at the Dodger Stadium witnessed a memorable concert involving a young Elton John. That concert became a significant part of rock music history and Elton’s individual career. Taking the stage dressed as a Dodgers player, Elton belted out a larger-than-life performance, which became very symbolic of him. Many decades later, Elton returned to the same venue for his farewell tour, having Dua Lipa as a fellow performer.

His 1975 concert at the Dodger Stadium helped him to cement the building bricks of his musical legacy. Hitting the perfect notes with his classic ‘Your Song’, he thus smashed the ball out of the park.
