Jeff Lynne’s ELO have announced a final tour called 'The Over and Out Tour'. The extensive North American trek takes in 27 dates, opening at Palm Springs Acrisure Arena on Saturday 24th August and wrapping up at Los Angeles Kia Forum on Friday 25th October.

A statement reads: "The Over and Out Tour, the final tour, is coming to the U.S. and it’s going to be out of this world! Join Jeff Lynne’s ELO for a historic night live in concert.”

Tickets go on sale at 10am local time on Friday 22nd March.

'The Over and Out Tour' is Jeff Lynne’s ELO’s first North American trek in exactly five years. Jeff Lynne’s ELO last toured the UK back in autumn 2018 when they played 15 sold-out arenas.

Their planned seven-date 'From Out of Nowhere UK Tour' in October 2020 was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.

It’s currently unclear whether there will be any UK and European dates on 'The Over and Out Tour'. We’ll keep our fingers crossed!

76-year-old Jeff Lynne has sold more than 50 million records worldwide with ELO and scored 20 Top 40 hits in the UK and US.

Alongside his fabled career with ELO, Jeff was a co-founder and 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.
