Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) will say goodbye next year with a final show at London's BST Hyde Park.

Festival organizers called the 2025 performance a “final farewell” to the band, which was formed in Birmingham in 1970 by Lynne and keyboardist Roy Wood.

Tickets for the July 13 show go on sale Friday.

Richard Tandy, who had been the band's bassist but became their keyboardist after Wood's departure, died earlier this year at the age of 76.

ELO split up in 1986, but Lynne reformed the band in 2014 as Jeff Lynne's ELO.

The band is known for blending classical music, Beatles-style pop and futuristic rock visuals with hits such as Livin' Thing, Mr Blue Sky and Telephone Line. in the 1970s and 1980s.

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

“My return to touring began in Hyde Park in 2014,” Lynne said.

“It seems like the perfect place for our final show.

“As the song says, we’ll do it again.”

ELO's song One More Time is featured on the 2019 album From Out Of Nowhere.

Lynne was named to the 2020 Queen's Birthday Honors List for her contributions to music and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015.

Jim King, managing director of European festivals at AEG Presents, said: “Jeff Lynne's ELO is loved around the world” and “the live shows are simply extraordinary”.

Mr King added that it was “a real honour” to host the band’s final gig next summer.

The band is currently on a farewell tour of the United States, which is scheduled to end Saturday in Inglewood, California.
