The concerts will also feature the popular South African electro string group, The Muses - the full sound you know and love from the original classic recordings will be performed live. The performances are on Thursday, 13 and Friday, 14 February (special Valentines performance) at Emperors Palace and Saturday, 15 February 2014 at the Liqui-fruit Amphitheatre in Paarl.

ELO are one of the most successful bands in the history of music. Their songs were played on the radio millions of times. ELO had dozens of top-20 hits; many of them became classics in pop history. The band forged a bridge between classical and rock music, between electronic and orchestral music, between traditional and modern trends.

Electric Light Orchestra Classics front man Phil Bates is the direct successor of Jeff Lynne in the ELO annals. Phil Bates and Electric Light Orchestra Classics will perform a set list that includes massive ELO hits Don't Bring Me Down, All Over The World, Shine A Little Love, Turn To Stone, Evil Woman and many more.

Tickets are from R240 and can be booked at Computicket.
