Jeff Lynne’s ELO Announces 2025 Farewell Tour: “Over and Out” Dates and Cities Revealed…

Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra has just announced what fans have been hoping wouldn’t come too soon: their final tour. Titled the “Over and Out” tour, this farewell journey marks the end of an era for one of rock’s most innovative and beloved bands. With decades of symphonic rock hits like Mr. Blue Sky, Telephone Line, and Don’t Bring Me Down, ELO’s influence has spanned generations—and now they’re preparing to take their final bow.

The 2025 “Over and Out” tour will take place exclusively in the UK, with just five live performances in total. Fans will get one last chance to experience Jeff Lynne’s iconic voice and orchestral rock sound in some of the country’s biggest venues. The tour kicks off in Birmingham and wraps up with a powerful and emotional finale at London’s BST Hyde Park—a location that’s special for Lynne, as it was the site of ELO’s return to the stage in 2014.

The confirmed tour dates are as follows:

• July 5, 2025 – Utilita Arena, Birmingham
• July 6, 2025 – Utilita Arena, Birmingham
• July 9, 2025 – Co-op Live, Manchester
• July 10, 2025 – Co-op Live, Manchester
• July 13, 2025 – BST Hyde Park, London

The Hyde Park show promises to be especially memorable, with special guests including the Doobie Brothers, Steve Winwood, and Dhani Harrison joining the lineup. It’s more than just a concert—it’s a celebration of legacy and a final chance for fans to be part of the magic one last time.

Tickets are already available and are expected to sell quickly. You can purchase them through official sites such as JeffLynnesELO.com, Ticketmaster UK, and Live Nation. Standard prices vary depending on the venue and seating, with premium VIP experiences also on offer for fans looking to make their farewell experience even more special.

This tour also follows the sad news of the passing of longtime ELO keyboardist Richard Tandy in 2023, adding another layer of emotion to the farewell. Jeff Lynne has said that ending their touring story at Hyde Park, where their modern chapter began, felt symbolically fitting.

Whether you’ve been a fan since their early days in the ’70s or discovered ELO more recently, the “Over and Out” tour is a once-in-a-lifetime event you won’t want to miss. It’s more than a concert—it’s a moment in music history.
