The full line-up for Jeff Lynne‘s ELO final gig has been confirmed. Check out the details below.
It comes as the band have been announced as headliners for the upcoming 2025 edition of BST Hyde Park this summer, and the show will come as an extension to their ongoing farewell tour.
The group have not played at the London live music series in over a decade, taking to the stage previously in 2014 for what was then their first festival set in 30 years. The upcoming slot at BST will be held on July 13, and support acts were later confirmed as The Doobie Brothers, Steve Winwood and Dhani Harrison.
Now, the full list of artists joining Lynne at the gig has been revealed, with W. H. Lung, Cats in Space, High Fade, Neckbreakers, Bobbie Dazzle and Bec O’Malley added to the bill.
W. H. Lung are from Manchester and have carved out a space with their forward-thinking synth-pop sound. The upcoming gig comes as they recently shared their third album ‘Every Inch of Earth Pulsates’, and spent the last year touring across the UK.
Cats In Space are a British rock group that emerged in 2015 with their ‘debut album Too Many Gods’. They have since opened for iconic groups like Status Quo, Deep Purple, Phil Collins and Blondie.
High Fade are a three-man band from Edinburgh who have amassed 30 million views and streams within six months of their first release and gained recognition from Jack Black, Cypress Hill, Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes and Brad Wilk from Rage Against The Machine.
Neckbreakers are a group introducing a new generation of indie, Bobbie Dazzle is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Siân Greenaway and inspired by ‘70s glam, and Bec O’Malley is a rising singer-songwriter getting recognition by blending raw emotion with melodic storytelling.
Speaking about the upcoming BST Hyde Park show, which will serve as a final “goodbye” to fans, Lynne said: “My return to touring began at Hyde Park in 2014. It seems like the perfect place to do our final show.
“We couldn’t be more excited to share this special night in London with our UK fans. As the song goes, ‘We’re gonna do it One More Time!’”
ELO are headlining this year’s edition of the London concert series along with Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Wonder, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Neil Young And The Chrome Hearts. You can find any remaining tickets here.
Last year’s instalment saw headliners Stevie Nicks, Kylie Minogue, Stray Kids, SZA, Kings Of Leon, Morgan Wallen, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams and Shania Twain.
