ELO to Perform Final Concert in July 2025

Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) announced their final live performance will be held at Hyde Park in London as part of the BST festival in July 2025, marking the end of a storied 55-year career. Jeff Lynne, who co-founded the band in 1970, decided to conclude their journey at Hyde Park, the same venue where their reunion began in 2014. The band, known for hits like 'Mr. Blue Sky' and 'Evil Woman,' has sold over 50 million records worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The farewell concert follows the passing of Richard Tandy, the band's long-time keyboardist, earlier this year. ELO's music, which blends classical influences with rock and pop, has been a significant part of the 70s and 80s music scene. The group's final US show on the 'Over and Out' tour is scheduled for October 26, 2023, at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.
