The ELO Experience: 20th Anniversary Tour

The ELO Experience bring their tribute to Jeff Lynne and Electric Light Orchestra to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Friday 23 October, as part of their 20th Anniversary Year Tour. They've been playing ELO's music live since 2006, so they've had two decades to get the set right.

The set mixes the well-known hits with album gems, so it's not just the songs you've heard a thousand times. You'll get the big ones — 'Mr Blue Sky', 'Don't Bring Me Down' and 'Evil Woman' — alongside tracks from albums like A New World Record, Discovery and Out of the Blue. Between 1972 and 1986, Jeff Lynne and ELO put out more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band, and that's the catalogue they're working from.

There's a bit of context to the timing, too. In 2025, Jeff Lynne's ELO played their final live shows with the Over & Out Tour, so this is one of the ways the music is staying on stage. The ELO Experience describes themselves as the world's foremost multi-award-winning tribute to Jeff Lynne and Electric Light Orchestra, and they've been at it for twenty years.

It starts at 7:30pm at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre, and tickets are £37.25.
