Jeff Lynne's ELO announce final tour of North America
Jeff Lynne's ELO are set to bid farewell with one last outing.
Jeff Lynne’s ELO have announced their final tour.
'The Over and Out Tour' of North America will boast 27 dates starting in Palm Desert, California on August 24, before concluding in Inglewood, Los Angeles on October 25.
It's not currently known if the tour will come to Europe or beyond.
The iconic band - best known for the hits 'Mr Blue Sky', 'Evil Woman' and 'Don’t Bring Me Down' - had somewhat of a renaissance in recent years with a new generation embracing the legendary rockers.
ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) played a triumphant set for the Sunday afternoon legends slot at Glastonbury Festival in 2016.
Jeff, 76, said of the performance: "It was just a great end to an amazing tour. We did 19 shows and sold them all out in big arenas, so I can't complain about anything right now."
The group – which was formed in 1970 by Jeff, Roy Wood of Wizzard and Bev Bevan, and is now comprised of the former and Richard Tandy - reunited at London's BST Hyde Park in summer 2014, for their first concert in 25 years, and their last jaunt was in 2018.
ELO were due to embark on a tour in 2020, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jeff is famous as the co-founder and member of The Travelling Wilburys together with Bob Dylan and the late Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Tom Petty.
The renowned songwriter and world-class producer has also worked with some of the biggest names in music including, The Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, and Bryan Adams.
A pre-sale will take place on March 20 from 10am PDT, while a Live Nation pre-sale will launch on March 21 8am PDT.
Tickets go on general sale on March 22 from 10am local time at www.jefflynneselo.com/tour.
