It's electric

THE ELO Experience bring Back Into The Blue to the Wyvern Theatre tomorrow night to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Out Of The Blue album.

The legacy left by Jeff Lynne & The Electric Light Orchestra barely needs any introduction – suffice to say that between 1972 and 1986 they achieved more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band on the planet! 10538 Overture, Evil Woman, Living Thing, Diary of Horace Wimp, Don’t Bring me Down and of course Mr Blue Sky went on to become the soundtrack of our lives.

In 2016, Jeff Lynne’s ELO came back to prominence with the release of a brand new album - Alone In The Universe and a UK and World tour. The ELO Experience 2017 tour will include some of the new material from the new album but will have many songs from the Out of The Blue album to celebrate its 40th Birthday year.

The ELO Experience are the world’s foremost tribute to The Electric Light Orchestra. With a sensational string section, a stunning light show and large screen projection to further enhance the experience, come and enjoy this incredible show which accurately reproduces the songs and sounds and takes you on a magical musical journey through time.

The ELO Experience are at the Wyvern at 7.30pm tomorrow. Tickets are £25.50. To book, call 01793 524481 or visit swindontheatres.co.uk.
