About

Jeff Lynne's ELO in Concert

"It's nice to have songs in your catalog that stand the test of time." So says creator Jeff Lynne about one of the most cherished troves in the history of pop music. As the singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who masterminded the Electric Light Orchestra (or ELO for short), the Birmingham-bred Lynne created a fabulously futuristic yet eminently engaging series of hit albums and singles that may be just as thrilling to new generations of listeners as they were to the millions who bought them during ELO's original run from 1970 to 1986. Indeed, thanks to these songs' presence on the soundtracks for movies like ‘American Hustle' and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,' it feels like ELO's hardly been away.

Yet until the new revival, ELO had been dormant since 1986, Lynne resurrecting the band only briefly for the 2001 album ‘Zoom.' Lynne stayed busy with solo albums and production work for friends like George Harrison and Tom Petty, two legends who'd join him alongside the late Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan in the Traveling Wilburys. Then the release of a new compilation in 2012 — ‘Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra' — spurred Lynne and original ELO member Richard Tandy to perform a benefit concert at London's Apollo. It led to a much grander return for BBC Two's Hyde Park Festival in 2014, with all 50,000 tickets selling out in 15 minutes. "That felt like I was breaking through a barrier," said Lynne of the end of ELO's long hiatus as a live act. The triumphs continued with a medley of "Evil Woman" and "Mr. Blue Sky" at the 2015 Grammy Awards, a historic concert at England's iconic Wembley Stadium in 2016, and ELO's 2017 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

With the help of musical director Mike Stevens and 13 players, Jeff Lynne continues to bring the ELO experience to audiences worldwide in a two-hour show that includes such classics as "Evil Woman," "Strange Magic," and "Livin' Thing." Fans can also enjoy more unexpected pleasures like "Do Ya" by The Move, the ‘60s rockers that first teamed Lynne and his ELO cofounder Roy Wood, and the Traveling Wilburys' "Handle With Care." The new ELO songs Lynne wrote and recorded for ‘Alone in the Universe' (2015) prove that one of pop's most celebrated craftsmen has not lost his Midas touch.

    by Kathleen on 3/18/24

    I saw the ELO was coming to Columbus. I immediately sent a text message to my sister and she was all in. It was definitely one of the best shows I’ve ever seen in my life number one being the Beegees in 1978, and number two being Michael Jackson in 1982. I cried when I heard the first song. I am 62 years old and listen to ELO when I was in high school they have always been one of my all-time favorite bands. I love their music and the show was absolutely phenomenal. My sister loved it too. I can’t wait to go back this time in Cincinnati in September . !!!

    2nd times a charm

    by Mplsmomma on 6/9/21

    I first saw ELO in 1982 after the release of the TIME album. That concert set my love affair with ELO in motion..they blew me away. Fast forward to July 2019 and Jeff Lynne's ELO is coming to my city again. Seeing ELO a second time was something I never thought would happen, but it did. What an awesone concert. If you ever get a chance to see this concert, take rhat chance. you wont be disappointed.

    One of the best shows of my life

    by aspeer70 on 4/25/20State Farm Arena - Atlanta

    I have loved ELO my whole life, but never had a chance to see them until now. The show exceeded my greatest expectations. The band played brilliantly, Jeff Lynne can still sing every song note-for-note, and the sound mix was unbelievably clear for a arena show.

    I WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS!!

    by Marc H. on 3/8/20

    I was born in 1974, so ELO has been there ever since. I grew listening to this band and seeing them live my first time in Portland, OR, Summer 2019. It was the best show I've ever saw, and I've seen hundreds. It was emotional for me because ELO is my early childhood, adolescence, and now middle aged life. I will remian a lifelong fan as long as I breathe. Jeff is a musical genuis and I will forever be grateful for his timeless music. I will also make it a point to go see them again when they come back. I'm going for front row every time I can. You haven't lived until you've sang Livin Thing with an arena full of people. It felt like I was goin' to Church and coming home to Jesus. Just spiritual. The energy was amazing! I found my drug.

    Too fantastic to rate!

    by Mimi on 1/4/20

    Saw Jeff Lynne/ELO with my family in 2018. ELO was a huge party of my life growing up in NYC in the 70s and 80s and still play on! The songs never grow old, they remain timeless. They are upbeat, meaningful as well as sentimental. This concert was one of the top concerts of my lifetime, worldwide. Please go out on tour again!! We need Jeff and ELO in our world!

    ELO in Amsterdam

    by S. S. on 11/3/19

    When we learned Jeff Lynne was playing in Amsterdam during our 2016 trip to the Netherlands, I had to get Tickets. I created an account on ticketmaster.nl and scored a couple third row seats. There are no words to describe the ELO experience Jeff has put together. It’s a complete audio/visual overload. Laughing, crying, you’ll go though the full range of emotions because his music and show presentation is so professional. We will be planning our 2020 tour around his schedule and hope to connect again. Make every effort to see one of his shows. You wont be sorry!

    Best concert ever

    by Mira A. on 9/23/19Prudential Center - Newark

    This is by far the best concert I had ever seen. The light show was out of this world and the songs the sound were amazing. When It was over I wanted to see it again the next day. Can't get enough of ELO.

    Pittsburgh Final

    by Deelava777 on 9/17/19PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    As always, ELO was fantastic in every way! Loved it! Only wished the venue had offered the ELO Specialty drinks the way Philly did in 2018. It was great.

    Hit After Hit

    by J. H. on 8/28/19PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh

    It shouldn't be surprising that I forgot how many great songs ELO have. They coupled this with a pretty killer laser show, like it was the 1970s again. Coolest was when he had Dhani Harrison, George's son and concert opener, join him onstage to sing a Traveling Wilbury song. I felt an impulse to buy a ticket to this concert and questioned myself later. But, I was correct all along. Fantastic show.
