The Return of Emerson, Lake & Palmer 2023 Summer Tour

Sole surviving member Carl Palmer, in association with the Estates of his bandmates Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, has announced the much anticipated The Return of Emerson, Lake & Palmer 2023 Summer Tour. Launching its 2nd US tour in July, the tour will actually again reunite ELP LIVE ON STAGE through modern technology.

The tour will start on July 8 in West Jefferson, NC and continue through the end of July 2023. See the Tour Dates page for all the details and ticket links!

The tour continues the successful run of show which began in November and December 2022. After exploring the idea of a Hologram tour in detail, Palmer (with the Estates of Emerson and Lake) opted for what they felt was a more honest approach using live footage of Keith and Greg on massive video walls alongside Carl (and his band) playing LIVE on stage. The voice and instrumentation of Greg Lake and the unmistakable keyboard mastery of Keith Emerson will be mixed with Palmer's onstage live drumming to magically reunite ELP once again.

Jeff Beck

My condolences go out to the Beck family.

Jeff will be deeply missed. He gave so much to the world with his guitar playing! I always thought so and so did Keith Emerson. He would have been a great guitarist to have in ELP. We talked about Jeff many times as a band.

We all miss you, Jeff.
