The ELO Encounter Blue Sky Tour Roll over Beethoven, because the greatest tribute to Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is here! In an all live show featuring soaring strings, striking vocal harmonies and playing all the much loved songs from ELO’s hit-filled library including Evil Woman, Telephone Line and Don’t Bring Me Down. The ELO Encounter promises a night filled with rock, roll and Blue Skies that would make even Mozart mambo and Bach boogie! So Hold On Tight because Rock and Roll Is King in a show that is guaranteed to have you partying All Over The World. Not only flawlessly recreating the wonderful music of ELO, it’s a spectacular live show from start to finish. Stunning lights and special effects create an atmosphere that will have you fully immersed in the whole experience. As the ELO Encounter reel off ELO classic hit after hit, it’s guaranteed to have the hairs on the back of your neck dancing in time to the music! 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”. That’s what The ELO Encounter tribute show is all about. ★★★★★ “Certainly went down a storm!” – Quay Theatre ★★★★★ “A brilliant night out” – Steve Scruton – BBC Radio ★★★★★ “Amazing … a fantastic band” – Tony Fisher – BBC Radio ★★★★★ “I’ve never seen such a standing ovation here!” – Braintree Arts Theatre ★★★★★ “Simply outstanding … thank you ELO Encounter” – RoadHouse Birmingham ★★★★★ “Best Tribute band we have seen at the Fisher in a very very long time.” - Fisher Theatre
