Jeff Lynne’s ELO, the modern incarnation of Jeff Lynne and his band Electric Light Orchestra, have announced a farewell tour. Dubbed The Over and Out Tour, the shows will take place across North America this fall, beginning on August 24 in Palm Desert, California and lasting on through to October 25 when the band will conclude their goodbye run in Los Angeles. See the complete list of tour dates below.
Electric Light Orchestra spent their original run releasing beloved pop-rock and prog records in the ’70s and ’80s before disbanding in 1986. Jeff Lynne went on to record two solo albums of his own, 1990’s Armchair Theatre and 2012’s Long Wave, before reforming the group under the moniker Jeff Lynne’s ELO in 2014. The newly regrouped band wrote two albums together: 2015’s Alone in the Universe and 2019’s From Out of Nowhere.
Back in 2020, Jeff Lynne was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), an honor that he said he was “extremely humbled and grateful†to receive. “To be recognised for my work is an extraordinary privilege,†he added.
