I have never attended any of the concerts, but are these the actual bands, or are they cover bands?

As far as I know yes. My dad and I have attended the ELO concert several years in a row. ELO has been his favorite band since they started in the 70's, and therefore I grew up listening and enjoying them as well. While it's not the entire original band (one has died and Jeff Lynne separated), the violin player is from the original group and the keyboard player is from the Part II group from the late 80's as well as the synthesizer. So yes and no. Some of the members are intact, while others are new-ish.

Actual bands. The covers bands are part of Sounds Like Summer concert series, and are described as such.

Most of those bands go back to the 60s or 70s. But the Gin Blossoms are a 90s band - I wonder how they ended up on there.

Jeff Lynne won't let them use ELO so they chose The Orchestra. It's a great show, saw them the last two years. Hope to go back in March.
