Jeff Lynne’s ELO Announce 2024 Final Live Tour: ‘Over and Out’
Beloved 1970s prog rock artist & music producer Jeff Lynne has announced the final tour of his best-known project, Electronic Light Orchestra (ELO). Kicking off in Palm Desert, CA, on August 24th, the tour will roll across North America before wrapping up in Lynne’s adoptive hometown Los Angeles on October 25.
The band started off in 1972 and is best known for songs like “Mr. Blue Sky,” “Telephone Line,” “Evil Woman” and “Don’t Bring Me Down.” Lynne has also penned many hits for artists, like Olivia Newton-John‘s song “Xanadu” from the Xanadu soundtrack.
ELO officially disbanded in 1986, when Lynne moved on to other projects, such as the Traveling Wilburys with Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and George Harrison. The long-time musician is also in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Jeff Lyne revived ELO in 2001 with keyboard player Richard Tandy (the two being the only original members), and the updated assemblage of musicians have since toured extensively since then and released two new albums.
