Jeff Lynne's legendary Electric Light Orchestra recently announced that they would be hanging up their guitars for good next summer with a big farewell show in London's Hyde Park. That was great news for London ELO fans, but not so great for Brits who don't live in the capital (or don't feel like trekking to the show).

But today (October 29th) we have an excellent update: ELO's Over and Out Tour will be hitting more UK arenas next July – excitingly including Jeff Lynne's hometown of Birmingham. The band will return next summer to play one final show in their hometown.

And that's not all. ELO will play another date in Manchester – meaning many more Brits can say goodbye to the classic band. Here's everything you need to know about the shows, from dates to ticket prices.

ELO UK tour dates confirmed in 2025

Jeff Lynne and Co. have so far confirmed two more Over and Out shows for next year in the UK. Here they are.

• Saturday July 5th – Birmingham, Utilita Arena
