Elvis Costello Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Elvis Costello continues to show his drive as a touring and recording artist well into late 2025 with several significant announcements and appearances drawing the spotlight. Just confirmed this month, Costello will return to the road in early 2025 for a duo tour with longtime collaborator Steve Nieve. This 15-date run covers the Northeast and Midwest United States, kicking off February 19 in Easton, Pennsylvania, before winding through cities like Red Bank, Montclair, Port Chester, Woodstock, Ann Arbor, and wrapping with a three-night residency at Chicago’s Park West on March 11 to 13. The pair will be joined by a backing band including Eleanor Whitmore and Tony Garnier, bringing new color to classics from their decades-long partnership. Tickets for this tour are hotly anticipated with presales and general sales rolling out this week, making Costello one of the most consistent live draws for fans of sophisticated pop and rock, as reported by Jambands.
The live action does not stop there—Costello and The Imposters, with Charlie Sexton on guitar, are set to embark next summer and fall on an expanded U.S. tour titled Radio Soul!: The Early Songs of Elvis Costello. This tour focuses on his iconic material from 1977’s My Aim Is True through 1986’s Blood & Chocolate, promising faithful renditions and fresh takes alike. The fall leg sees 22 new dates, with the band traversing cities from Boston and Toronto to Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. According to Consequence, Costello emphasizes this isn’t a nostalgia act but a living, breathing rock and roll band.
Major business news for Costello fans: in 2024, UMe released The Songs of Bacharach & Costello, an in-depth boxed set curated by Costello himself. This release celebrates his prolific creative relationship with Burt Bacharach—adding deeper relevance as Bacharach’s role in pop history continues to be reassessed by critics and fans alike, per Music Connection. Meanwhile, Costello remains a visible presence online, with his official website and social media channels sharing regular show updates and archival content, though there are no confirmed viral posts or controversies as of today.
Looking ahead, it was announced in recent days by American Songwriter that Elvis Costello & The Imposters will support Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts as the opening act for the first nine shows of Young’s 2026 European Love Earth World Tour, cementing Costello’s enduring appeal as both a headliner and a collaborator alongside musical legends.
