Jeff Lynne’s ELO Announces Final Tour

Jeff Lynne's ELO has announced The Over and Out Tour. The band's final tour will play more than two dozen North American cities starting in the fall.

The shows will launch in Palm Desert, California, on Aug. 24 and wrap up on Oct. 25 in Los Angeles. Jeff Lynne's ELO last toured in 2019, the same year their latest album, From Out of Nowhere, was released. It was the group's first North American tour in more than 30 years.

At the time, Lynne – the only original member of the Electric Light Orchestra still in the band – said he wasn't planning to go on the road again. "I don't know what happened," he said.

"I just got talked into it by somebody on the radio [in 2013]. It was for charity, and we only had two numbers. That's all we practiced for, so we had to do 'Mr. Blue Sky' twice, because we hadn't learned enough songs for the encore. But it went down so great that then the BBC invited us to the Hyde Park concert for Radio 2 [in 2014], and that's what got us started, really."
