Jeff Lynne has announced second shows in four cities for “The Over and Out” 2024 North American tour. The April 2 news brings the run to 31 dates (so far) and is his first tour in five years. The original March 19 tour announcement, billed as the final tour, followed a pair of teaser posts in the past few days on his various social media accounts. (Those were preceded by a Facebook post on Christmas Eve that noted, “I look forward to seeing you in the New Year.”) See the updated itinerary below. The general on-sale for the new shows begins April 5 at 10 a.m. local time here.
Lynne, who turned 76 last Dec. 30, made his first stage performance in four years when he played a 10-song set at Joe Walsh’s VetsAid benefit concert on November 12, 2023.

Lynne’s most recent studio album was From Out of Nowhere, released in November 2019 and the first from Jeff Lynne’s ELO since 2015. Order it in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here. It followed 2015’s Alone in the Universe, which initiated a burst of activity from the maestro. Lynne resumed touring with a new edition of the Electric Light Orchestra, now dubbed Jeff Lynne’s ELO. The band did a 2019 summer tour in the U.S. and had booked a 2020 U.K. tour which was canceled due to the pandemic.
