The Traveling Wilburys Revue is the live show “the greatest band that never played live” never gave: a full tribute to the 1988 supergroup of George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne, plus the solo catalogs of all five artists. The band features two Music Hall of Fame inductees and documented sold-out theater bookings nationwide.
The Traveling Wilburys formed in 1988 when George Harrison invited friends to “get together and write some songs.” The group recorded just two albums (Volume 1 in 1988 and Vol. 3 in 1990), produced an enduring catalog including “Handle With Care” and “End of the Line,” won the 1989 Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group, and sold more than 3 million copies of Volume 1 in its first six months. The five members are five of the most celebrated artists in modern music.
The original Traveling Wilburys never performed live together. The Revue is delivering an experience the original band never offered, making the show genuinely a category-of-one in the tribute world.
Three of the original five Wilburys are gone forever: Roy Orbison (December 1988), George Harrison (November 2001), and Tom Petty (October 2017). Bob Dylan (84) and Jeff Lynne (77) are still living, but a reunion has never been seriously discussed. The Revue is the only credentialed way to experience this remarkable supergroup’s music performed live in a true full-band format.
Documented testimonials from venue programmers and event hosts:
“Excellent music, voices and interaction with the audience, tribute band closeness to the original, personality of the performers and the audience’s enthusiastic receptiveness. This is a standing ovation group. A must see!” — Jackie Howard — Jac-Ron Enterprises, The Palace PAC (Tamarac, FL)
“You have great music, popular songs, talented musicians. Our audience loved your show. You all are very personable and it came out at the end for your final song and encore.” — Mary Brodzeller — Executive Director, Schauer PAC (Hartford, WI)
“Traveling Wilburys Revue always brings our audience a great show that everyone loves and keeps coming back for.” — David — Westside Theater (Newman, CA)
Plus a documented sold-out repeat booking at Sutter Creek Theatre, the award-winning 215-seat historic former silent-film theatre (voted Best Indie Theatre multiple times on the KCRA A-List), and additional PAC credits at Pacific Repertory Theater (Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA) and KVMR Community Radio features.
The Traveling Wilburys Revue is a proven fit for:
The Revue delivers an evening of music from five major-artist catalogs in a single show.
The Traveling Wilburys Revue is a musically accurate recreation of one of music’s most beloved supergroups and the individual solo catalogs of its five members. The original Wilburys never performed live together — they wrote and recorded out of George Harrison’s 1988 invitation to “get together and write some songs,” then went their separate ways. The Revue’s live concerts have thrilled audiences exactly because that original experience never existed.
The lineup is built from session veterans with Hall of Fame credentials. Chris Lockheed (as Jim Keltner, drums) is an Arizona Musicians Hall of Fame inductee with Goose Creek Symphony (Capitol Records). Tom (guitar) is a Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame inductee whose touring credits include Big Brother & the Holding Company, Jefferson Starship, and Joan Baez. Steve Love (as Jeff Lynne) leads 1960s tribute band Back Pages and also plays in Refugee, the Tom Petty tribute — giving him an unusual depth of authenticity on the Petty material that anchors much of the Wilburys catalog.
Audience and PAC programmer response has been exceptional. Documented venue credits include sold-out repeat bookings at Sutter Creek Theatre (the award-winning 215-seat historic former silent-film theatre, voted Best Indie Theatre multiple times on the KCRA A-List), the Palace PAC in Tamarac FL, Schauer PAC in Hartford WI, Westside Theater in Newman CA, Pacific Repertory Theater in Carmel-by-the-Sea CA, and KVMR Community Radio features. The band is also available for virtual events and livestream engagements.
Traveling Wilburys tributes are exceptionally rare (the original supergroup never toured, which has discouraged most tribute act attempts), and tributes with two Music Hall of Fame inductees in the lineup plus five-major-artist catalog breadth are essentially nonexistent outside of the Wilburys Revue. The Revue is the premier option in the category. TSE Entertainment can also recommend Beatles, Tom Petty, or other 1960s/70s/80s classic-rock tribute options for buyers exploring alternatives or building a multi-act program.

Every option we recommend is vetted and event-proven. If The Traveling Wilburys Revue is not the perfect fit, we’ll quickly suggest comparable options that are.
Pricing depends on event date, location, routing, travel, production requirements, and overall scope. Virtual events and livestream engagements are also available. The fastest way to get a real number is to request availability with your event details.

Yes. The act is regularly booked for corporate events, charity galas, private parties, theaters, casinos, performing arts centers, weddings, and other special events. The five-major-artist catalog breadth means the act can adapt the setlist to almost any classic-rock event programming.
Three things. First, the unique positioning — the original Wilburys never performed live together, so the Revue delivers an experience the original supergroup never offered. Second, the catalog breadth: five major-artist catalogs (Wilburys, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne / ELO) in a single concert. Third, the band is built from session veterans with two Music Hall of Fame credentials in the lineup.

Three of the original five Wilburys are gone forever. Roy Orbison passed away in December 1988. George Harrison passed in November 2001. Tom Petty passed in October 2017. Only Bob Dylan (84) and Jeff Lynne (77) are still living, and a reunion has never been seriously discussed. The Wilburys Revue is the only credentialed way to experience this music live in a true full-band format.
Yes, and this is a major part of what makes the show distinctive. In addition to the Wilburys catalog itself, the show includes solo material from each of the five Wilburys: George Harrison (“Here Comes the Sun,” “My Sweet Lord”), Tom Petty (“Won’t Back Down,” “Free Fallin’,” “American Girl”), Roy Orbison (“Pretty Woman,” “Crying”), Bob Dylan (“Like a Rolling Stone,” “Blowin’ in the Wind”), and Jeff Lynne / ELO (“Don’t Bring Me Down,” “Mr. Blue Sky,” “Evil Woman”). Buyers can request emphasis on specific Wilbury solo catalogs depending on event audience.
Classic rock, folk rock, country rock, 1960s/70s/80s rock, and singer-songwriter audiences. Longtime Beatles, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and ELO fans. Multi-generational rock crowds and music history enthusiasts. The combined-catalog nature makes the show unusually flexible for diverse audiences — different age groups respond to different Wilbury solo catalogs.
Yes. The Traveling Wilburys Revue is available for virtual events, livestream corporate gatherings, and remote programming, in addition to live in-person performances. Inquire about virtual production specifics during booking.
Yes. TSE also represents PettyBreakers (Tom Petty) and Britain’s Finest (Beatles), which can be programmed as Wilburys-adjacent single-artist tributes.
