(November 12, 2015) – As ELO fans worldwide await Jeff Lynne’s ELO Alone In The Universe, the first new ELO music in 15 years, ELO has announced two intimate live shows at New York City’s Irving Plaza on November 20 and Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre on November 24. Tickets will be available for purchase for the New York City show HERE and Los Angeles show HERE beginning Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. local time.

 

Alone In The Universe is set for global release tomorrow, November 13, on Columbia Records.  The album is available globally for pre-order now and features the first single “When I Was a Boy” (http://smarturl.it/WhenIWasABoyAudio). The track has already received critical and fan praise alike, with NPR hailing it as “vintage ELO, with Lynne’s signature chord progressions, string flourishes and a wistful but infectious melody.”

 

As with ELO’s previous chart-topping albums, Jeff Lynne continues to serve as ELO’s producer, songwriter, arranger, lead singer and guitarist. In September 2014, for the first time in 30 years, Jeff Lynne's ELO headlined BBC Radio 2's "Festival In A Day" in London's famous Hyde Park to a sold-out crowd of 50,000 fans in attendance and nearly a million people tuned in to watch.
