ELO Hyde Park 2024: how to get tickets, prices and dates for their farewell concert in London

It’s never too early to start thinking about festival season. And with the scramble for Glastonbury tickets about to begin, we’ve just been given our first headliner for one other major British festival.

Electric Light Orchestra will be one of the big headliners at next year’s British Summer Time (BST) in Hyde Park. This will be an extra special performance, as Jeff Lynne’s band has announced it will be their last ever show.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to experience the cinematic crescendo of ‘Mr Blue Sky’, this is your final chance before the lights go down for ELO. Here’s how to get your hands on tickets.

What’s been said about the show? 

Jeff 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!”’

Jim King, the CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents added: ‘Jeff Lynne’s ELO are loved the world over. The live shows are nothing short of extraordinary and a testament to the incredible catalogue of hits we’ve enjoyed for over 50 years.

‘Hosting their final performance at BST Hyde Park is a true honour, especially 30 years after their first festival show in the same park. We’re excited to be part of this special moment in music history.’
