Elvis Costello Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Elvis Costello has been making waves in the music world with a series of major tour announcements that span the globe through 2026. The legendary artist recently confirmed a 15-date U.S. tour with his longtime collaborator Steve Nieve, kicking off February 19th in Easton, Pennsylvania and wrapping up in Chicago with three consecutive shows in mid-March. This intimate duo format will see Costello and Nieve performing across the Northeast and Midwest, with special guests joining them in Chicago including fiddle player Eleanor Whitmore, double bassist Tony Garnier, and cornet player Shaye Cohn. Tickets went on sale this past Friday, November 22nd, following an artist presale that launched November 20th.

But that's not all. Costello has extended his "Radio Soul: The Early Songs of Elvis Costello" tour significantly, adding 22 new dates for September and October of this year with The Imposters and guitarist Charlie Sexton. This summer and fall run covers the West Coast in June, then swings through the country hitting cities from Seattle to San Diego, Denver to Miami, before the East Coast and Midwest leg begins in mid-September. The tour celebrates material spanning from 1977's "My Aim Is True" through 1986's "Blood and Chocolate," representing some of the most creatively fertile period of his career.

Looking even further ahead, Costello will be making waves in Europe, with confirmed performances alongside Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts on their 2026 Love Earth World Tour. Costello and The Imposters will open the first nine dates across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and mainland Europe starting in June 2026. This marks a significant reunion of sorts for the iconic artist, who continues to prove his staying power and relevance across multiple generations of music lovers.

Throughout all these developments, Costello's official website and social media channels have been buzzing with announcements and tour information. His partnership with longtime keyboardist Steve Nieve remains as strong as ever, a collaboration that stretches back to 1977 when they first joined forces with The Attractions.
