The Mr. Blue Sky legends will now precede their final show at BST Hyde Park with dates in Birmingham and Manchester.
Jeff Lynne's ELO have added more shows to their Over & Out UK Tour.
The Mr. Blue Sky legends previously announced their plans to play their last ever show at BST Hyde Park on 13th July next year.
Now, they will grace the stage at Birmingham Utilita Arena on 5th and 6th July and Manchester's Co-op Live on the 9th and 10th.
In recent years, Jeff Lynne’s ELO has delivered a critically acclaimed and chart-topping album along with a sold out run of UK and European shows. Jeff Lynne was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame last year and the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The band's BST Hyde Park show will take place after they completing their farewell US tour, Over and Out.
ELO has had more than 20 Top 40 Hits across the US and the UK, making Lynne's sweeping productions some of the most recognisable music of the last forty years and helping sell over 50 million records worldwide.
Their signature UFO, which descends on the stage and their spectacular production brings audiences into their world, with string sections, cutting edge technology and an array of musicians faithfully recreating ELO’s incredible recordings including the hits Mr. Blue Sky, Don’t Bring Me Down, Evil Woman, Livin Thing, Turn To Stone and Telephone Line.
