The legacy left by Jeff Lynne & The Electric Light Orchestra barely needs any introduction – suffice to say that between 1972 and 1986 they achieved more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band on the planet!
‘10538 Overture’, ‘Evil Woman’, ‘Living Thing’, ‘Diary of Horace Wimp’, Don’t Bring me Down’ and of course ‘Mr Blue Sky’ went on to become the soundtrack of our lives. In 2025, Jeff Lynne’s ELO performed the last ever live shows with the ‘Over & Out Tour.
The ELO Experience tour will include the greatest hits from an extensive and impressive back catalogue spanning over 50 years. Blending rock rhythms with classical influences, ELO released many classic albums such as ‘A New World Record’, ‘Discovery’ and ‘Out of the Blue’, and many sold-out tours which further established them as one of the most important and influential bands ever.
The ELO Experience is the world’s foremost multi-award-winning tribute to Jeff Lynne & The Electric Light Orchestra. Let us take you on a magical ELO journey through time with some of the greatest music ever written and put onto vinyl.
The Greatest Hits will be there, plus some album gems too!
Join us in celebrating this great music from the genius that is Mr Jeff Lynne!
The ELO Experience have been bringing the music of Jeff Lynne and The Electric Light Orchestra to the live stage since 2006.
