“Drawing inspiration from all of ELO’s phases, from their spectacular debut single 10538 Overture to their seminal 1981 concept album Time, the ELO Encounter combines lights, projections, lasers and massive hits to provide a fast-paced and exciting show for both your eyes and ears.

“Put together by theatre veterans and unabashed ELO devotees, The ELO Encounter is a labour of love that will have you up and dancing to all your favourite tunes from the song-writing genius Jeff Lynne, including Mr Blue Sky, Last Train to London, Evil Woman, Rock & Roll is King, Don’t Bring Me Down, Rockaria, Turn to Stone and many more.

“A must see for theatregoers and ELO fans, The ELO Encounter guarantees a night to remember so strap on your dancing shoes for the show that will have you partying All Over the World!

“On Saturday, October 16 Badness will perform a Madness Tribute Show.
