Cool Thursdays Concert Series: Rocket Man - Elton John Tribute Show


Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden

Rocket Man gives an insanely energetic performance time after time, throwing around jams such as “Saturday Night’s Alright” and “Pinball Wizard” before sending audiences exploding into space with extended 70s instrumental versions of “Rocket Man,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and “Levon.” With thousands of performances under their belts ranging from festivals to concert halls, to casinos, to cruise liners, Rocket Man musicians actually portray Elton John’s intense 70s and 80s concerts down to the finest detail.

All concerts are held on the Martin Rutchik Concert Stage & Lawn. Gates open at 6 p.m. Spring concerts are 7:30 - 9:30 p.m., fall concerts 7 - 9 p.m. The garden closes at the conclusion of each concert.

In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved inside to Rosine Hall. Due to limited space, inside seating is based on a first-come, first-served basis.
