Formed in 1970 in Birmingham UK, the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) is a band that fuses pop music with classical overtonesJeff Lynne, its creator and continuing driving force added violins, cellos, string basses, horns and woodwind to the standard rock line-up to “pick up where the Beatles left off...” In the 13 years following their arrival on the music scene, they sold over 50 millions records worldwide, accumulated 27 Top 40 songs in the UK singles chart, and 15 in the US chartsIn the summer of 2016, they played the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival, and in December, it was announced they had been elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2017 Jeff Lynne continues to front ELO (Jeff Lynne’s ELO)

This special concert celebrates the unique aura of ELO, expanding the classic sound with a treatment that utilises a full symphony orchestra and band, with 6 singers to replicate the glorious wall of vocal soundThe concert celebrates ELO’s catalogue of classic chart hits - not re-imagined, but like you’ve never heard them before!
