THE TOUR
Elton John's 1982 tour of Australia was a significant event for both the artist and his fans in the region. Known as the "Jump Up!" tour, it marked Elton John's return to touring after a brief hiatus and showcased his album "Jump Up!" which was released in 1982, his sixteenth studio album. The album included hit songs like "Blue Eyes," "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)," and "I'm Still Standing."

The "Jump Up!" tour was notable because it marked Elton John's return to touring after a semi-retirement period. He had announced his intention to retire from performing live in 1977, but by 1980 he had returned to the studio to record new music. The subsequent tour of Australia was part of his renewed commitment to touring.

Elton John's 1982 tour of Australia contributed to his ongoing global popularity and cemented his status as one of the most iconic and enduring artists in the music industry. His concerts have always been celebrated for their entertainment value and the connection he builds with his audience.

Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians.  Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.

Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
