Harrison and Clay had this to say about the Finale Tour: “As we look to bring The Last Goodbye Tour to a close, we are overwhelmed with how bittersweet it all feels. The journey to this point has been unimaginable – exceeding all our expectations – and we are excited to show you the final chapter of this experience. The new performance starting in June builds upon the live show and allows us to edit, extend, remix and play songs we haven’t before. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to perform in some of the most iconic venues across the U.S. These last shows mark the culmination of The Last Goodbye Tour, and we can’t wait to share what we have been working on with our fans, both old and new.” — H+C

These shows will embody everything that has made ODESZA one of live music’s modern marvels, blending together cinematic visuals, pyrotechnics and lighting effects, lush live instrumentation (including ODESZA’s beloved drum line), surprise guests and performers, and a devoted community of fans, which all bring to life a truly innovative and immersive experience.

The shows will mark the closing of the GRAMMY-nominated duo’s most innovative musical era to date, which included the release of their critically acclaimed album ‘The Last Goodbye’ in 2022, a GRAMMY nomination for Best Electronic Album and a win for Best Electronic Record at A2IM’s 2023 Libera Award and the premiere of their first concert film in theaters across the world.

About Special Lightings of the Pacific Wheel

Pacific Park regularly programs the Ferris wheel to display seasonal programing and themed light designs for holidays and special occasions. The Pacific Wheel’s state-of-the-art lighting package was installed in 2016 and can display over 1.6 million different colors and animate patterns and icons in 24 frames per second. The energy efficient LEDs on the face of the Ferris wheel are powered by solar arrays inside Pacific Park. The light programs are curated and designed by Pacific Park staff. Each design is manually animated; some designs can take hours of programming. The aim is to provide fun, high-energy, and sometimes whimsical designs to entertain guests on the Santa Monica Pier and surrounding beaches.
