Giorgi Kereselidze, Director of Eastern Promotions, told media representatives: “It is no surprise to see mega stars coming to Georgia. This time, the Black Sea Arena will host one of the greatest musicians, Elton John, who will visit Georgia as part of his world tour. We hope that the concert will be unforgettable for the Georgian audience. The visit of high profile stars such as Sir Elton John drastically improves the image of Georgia in all aspects. This will be the last concert at the Black Sea Arena for the season. We have been working on this project for two years and got confirmation at the end of 2016.
Georgia is the first stop in the legendary star’s Asian tour. From the Black Sea Arena, near Shekvetili, Ozurgeti Municipality, Elton John will then visit Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines and Oceania. For more info please, visit: www.SOLO.ge; http://facebook.com/www.SOLO.ge
