Elton John rocks Leoben: A look back at 25 years of music history!

If you think of Leoben's main square, you may think of the picturesque backdrop and the various events that have taken place there over the years. 25 years ago, on June 16, 2000, the world -famous Sir Elton John performed as part of his “Solo Piano Tour”. The British musician, who was officially born as Reginalt Kenneth Dwight, has made a name for itself with over 300 million plates sold and numerous hits such as "Your Song" and "Rocket Man". He is one of the most successful solo artists in music history, a fact that the people of his concert in Leoben have certainly remembered for a long time.

Elton John, who already learned his piano skills in childhood and received a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, published over 32 studio albums in his career, including classics such as "Honky Château" and "Goodbye Yellow Road". His style of music and his distinctive voice inspire fans all over the world. At the concert in Leoben, visitors were able to look forward to a unique evening full of emotions and musical highlights.

But not only the music was the focus of what is happening in Leoben. On this day there was also an interesting initiative by the Thörl photo group. This invited the upper classes of the Thörl secondary school to a photo course and competition. The aim was to give young people a look for nature and opportunities for creative leisure activities. Such events not only promote creativity, but also strengthen the sense of community among the young participants.

Another highlight mentioned in the news is the upcoming “Mürzer Almtour-MRB marathon”. This marathon, which starts on June 25th in the Mürzzuschlag hammer park, belongs to the Styrian "Alpentour Mountain Bike Marathon Cup". This sporting challenge not only attracts passionate cyclists, but also offers a great setting to strengthen the cohesion in the region.
