When an 88-year-old legend still carries his waltz across the world
At 88 years old, Engelbert Humperdinck continues to inspire fans worldwide with the announcement of “The Last Waltz Tour” 2025 – a very special journey across multiple countries. The tour’s title comes from his 1967 classic “The Last Waltz”, the song that turned him into one of the most iconic male vocalists of the 20th century.
Tour schedule 2025
The journey begins on May 16, 2025 in Flagstaff, Arizona (USA) and moves through major cities like Beverly Hills, Riverside (California), Lynn (Massachusetts), and Lincoln (Rhode Island). A highlight will be his appearance in Las Vegas (August 29–30) at the Orleans Showroom – a stage forever tied to legendary entertainers. In London (September 7), Engelbert will return to his homeland before continuing across the U.S., with stops in San Juan Capistrano, Del Mar, Elkhart, Joliet, and Reading, extending through December 2025.
Ticket prices & audience demand
According to Ticketmaster and Live Nation, tickets sold out quickly in many locations. Prices range from $80 – $250, depending on seating. VIP packages with meet-and-greet and photo opportunities cost more, while some special shows in Vegas are already fetching $500 – $700 on resale markets – proof of Engelbert’s enduring appeal after more than five decades on stage.
Songs to be performed
Fans can expect a heartfelt setlist that includes:
-
Release Me – the song that famously knocked The Beatles off the charts in 1967.
-
The Last Waltz – the timeless anthem, lending its name to the tour.
-
Quando, Quando, Quando, After the Lovin’, Am I That Easy to Forget.
He often closes his shows with a tribute to his late wife Patricia, singing the emotional ballad “You.”
The meaning of the tour
“The Last Waltz Tour” is more than just a concert series – it is a farewell in dignity. Engelbert once said: “I want people to remember me for my music and love, not for silence.” This tour feels like his gentle goodbye, giving fans one last chance to see and hear the golden voice live before he eventually steps away
