Jeff Lynne's ELO to bring their final tour to Phoenix in 2024. Here's how to get tickets
Jeff Lynne’s ELO will bring the Over and Out Tour, their final tour, to Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix on Monday, Oct. 21.
Lynne disbanded Electric Light Orchestra, an iconic British band whose most beloved US hits include "Can't Get It Out of My Head," "Evil Woman," "Strange Magic," "Livin' Thing," "Do Ya" and "Telephone Line," in 1986.
He reunited with keyboardist Richard Tandy in 2014 for a concert at London's Hyde Park that sold 50,000 tickets in 15 minutes as Jeff Lynne’s ELO.
In 2016, Jeff Lynne’s ELO won Band of the Year at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour Award.
In 2017, Electric Light Orchestra was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Jeff Lynne's ELO have released two studio albums, 2015's "Alone in the Universe" and 2019's "From Out of Nowhere."
Jeff Lynne's ELO earned raves for 2019 tour
Lynne’s North American tour in 2019 delighted massive crowds and drew widespread critical acclaim.
Variety wrote, "The ELO catalog speaks for itself… and it was a glorious thing to behold… in a 19-song set that reprised the closest thing to truly Beatle-level pop the 1970s had to offer.”
LA Weekly wrote, “Jeff Lynne’s ELO prove that spacy pop rock is still a livin’ thing… one of the most flawless and visually stunning arena shows I've seen in a long time. Complete with monstrous lights, lasers and the mandatory ELO spaceship hovering behind the band on video screens, the show was as grand and engrossing as a blockbuster movie — a ’70s blockbuster movie, that is.”
And the Houston Press wrote, “Jeff Lynne’s ELO is practically a religious experience for rock ‘n’ roll disciples.”
Lynne was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2023.
Electric Light Orchestra last played a Phoenix concert in 1977
In addition to his work with ELO, Lynne was a co-founding member of the Travelling Wilburys together with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty, as well as a producer and collaborator with some of the biggest names in music, including the Beatles, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh and Bryan Adams.
Electric Light Orchestra's most recent Phoenix concert appears to have been in 1977, when the A New World Record Tour played Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
