Jeff Lynne's ELO Announce First North American Tour in Over 35 Years
Jeff Lynne's ELO—just a few days before the release of their upcoming concert film and live album, Wembley or Bust—have announced a small North American tour. The shows will be the band's first run of North American tour dates since 1981.
- The dates will occur in August 2018, and will see the group stop by select venues in the South, Midwest and East Coast, plus a date in Toronto.
“Our audiences are amazing. It’s like they’re in the group," Lynne said in a statement announcing the tour. "We can’t wait to play for them again.”
