Jeff Lynne's ELO at BST Hyde Park 2025: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know for London farewell show
This is it. This weekend Jeff Lynne's ELO will land at the final stop of their 'Over and Out' tour of the UK, closing BST Hyde Park and performing together for the very last time. It isn't Electric Light Orchestra as we once knew them, though. Jeff Lynne and Richard Tandy put together a reformed version of the band in 2014, but Tandy passed away last spring and 77-year-old Jeff is the only original member of the group remaining. Still, it promises to be a spectacular show packed with nostalgia. Plus, there's support from the likes of the Doobie Brothers, Steve Winwood and Dhani Harrison (the son of Beatle George Harrison). If you're gonna be one of the 65,000 people descending on Hyde Park for the band's final farewell, here's all the important stuff you should know beforehand. When is ELO playing at BST Hyde Park? Jeff Lynne's ELO will be on the Hyde Park stage on Sunday, July 13. What time do doors open? Gates will open at 2pm for everyone with general admission tickets and at 1pm for people with primary entry and VIP tickets. Last entry will be at 8.30pm. What time will ELO come on stage? The band are expected to start their set at 8pm and finish by 10.30pm.

Jeff Lynne's ELO at Birmingham's Utilita Arena: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know
It's been a long time since we last had the chance to see Electric Light Orchestra live. Seven years, to be exact. The iconic British band have been keeping quiet for a while, but last year they made a huge announcement: their last ever performance will be at BST Hyde Park this year. Technically this is Jeff Lynne's ELO, which was a re-formed version of the band that Lynne, the frontman, put together in 2014 with fellow band member Richard Tandy, who sadly passed away last May. Since then, Jeff is the only original member of ELO remaining, but that doesn't mean he can't put on a great show. Of course, not everyone can fit in one date at Hyde Park, so fans were relieved when Jeff Lynne and co announced two homecoming gigs in their native Birmingham, more than 55 years since it all began. Their final concerts in Birmingham will take place this weekend (July 5-6) ahead of one night in Manchester and then their final farewell at Hyde Park next week. Here's everything you need to know to have a great night belting out 'Mr Blue Sky' with 15,000 likeminded fans. When are Jeff Lynne's ELO playing at the Birmingham Utilita Arena? ELO will play two nights in Birmingham – Saturday, July 5 and Sunday July 6. What are the timings? Doors will open at 6pm, so you can get to your seat any time from them. ELO will take to the stage around 8pm, and according to the Utilita Arena the show will end at 10.40pm, meaning the show will be just over two and a half hours long. That's a proper goodbye. What's the setlist? Jeff Lynne's ELO did a US tour last year, so we have a vague idea of what their setlist might look like, although given that this is a special occasion, don't be surprised if they change things up a little bit. Here's what they played on their American tour: One More Time Evil Woman Do Ya (The Move cover) Showdown Last Train to London Believe Me Now Steppin' Out Rockaria! 10538 Overture Strange Magic Sweet Talkin' Woman Can't Get It Out of My Head Fire on High Livin' Thing Telephone Line All Over the World Turn to Stone Shine a Little Love Don't Bring Me Down Mr. Blue Sky Who is supporting? The band will be supported by Dhani Harrison, the only son of George Harrison – as if there wasn't enough British musical heritage on the stage already. Dhani's set will likely start around 7pm. Can you still get tickets for ELO at Birmingham's Utilita Arena? These concerts are literally once-in-a-lifetime, so you won't be surprised to know that they both sold out very quickly. There are a very limited number of resale tickets available from the venue's website here, but you'll have to be quick.

Sir Bradley Wiggins thanks Lance Armstrong for help in battling drug addiction
Wiggins revealed last month that he became addicted to cocaine following his retirement from the sport in 2016. The 2012 Tour de France winner is now 12 months sober and attends regular therapy sessions, but paid tribute to the role of Armstrong, who was stripped of his cycling titles for using performance-enhancing drugs. Asked about Armstrong, Wiggins told BBC Five Live: 'He's been a great strength to me and a great inspiration to me, and it's on a human level. 'Lance has been very, very good to me. That's not something everyone wants to hear because people only like to hear the bad stuff. 'You can only take someone how they treat you and Lance has been a source of inspiration to me and a constant source of help towards me. And is one of the main factors why I'm in this position I am today mentally and physically, so, I'm indebted to him for that.' Wiggins admitted he does not speak with Armstrong every day, but will work for him this summer on his podcast The Move at the Tour de France. The 45-year-old father-of-two has been candid since retirement about the sexual abuse he experienced as a teenager and his drug addiction. 'We are all humans at the end of the day and it is a human story and I've had lots of events in my life that informed the problems I had in my life post-cycling,' Wiggins explained. 'I'd never had therapy or counselling during my time as a cyclist because you're perceived as a cyclist – or certainly when you're an Olympic champion or the Tour de France winner – to be incredibly mentally strong. 'It took me a long time to adapt to normal life, as it were, and all the things that contribute to keeping me in a steady place.'
