As a recent reviewer remarked, “Not really a tribute, that cheapens what this band does, which is to transport you back to those days. So sensitively and authentically done, at times it felt like it was actually ELO being mirrored up there on the stage”.
ELO Encounter are one of the best loved tributes to Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra. The band put on a dazzling performance every time they hit the stage and the show features soaring strings, striking vocal harmonies and a rocking light show.

★★★★★ “I’ve never seen such a standing ovation here!” – Braintree Arts Theatre

There is quite the back catalogue for the band to delve into, and revellers will hear classics such as 10538 Overture, Showdown and Standin’ In The Rain, along side hits such as, Livin’ Thing, Turn To Stone, Last Train To London, Wild West Hero, Sweet Talkin’ Woman and of course Mr Blue Sky.
Each band member is a fantastic musician in their own right, with members having played alongside the original ELO drummer Bev Bevan no less, but they all share a love for ELO and dedicate themselves to accurately representing the band on stage.
Jeff Lynne famously grabbed the coveted afternoon legend slot at Glastonbury Festival in recent years, to great critical acclaim.
The ELO Encounter are bringing a slice of that magic to the theatre stages across the UK as part of their Blue Skies Tour.
