Elvis Costello adds extra UK & EU dates to Radio Soul Tour

The Imposters are Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher and they are joined once again by guitarist Charlie Sexton.

As the playful billing suggests, the show will feature numbers drawn from record releases from My Aim Is True in 1977 to Blood & Chocolate in 1986, along with other surprises. Those nine years saw the first appearance of some of Elvis Costello’s most renowned compositions from ‘Watching The Detectives’ to ‘I Want You’, along with songs that have remained in The Imposters’ live repertoire over the last 20 or more years, including ‘Alison,’ ‘Man Out Of Time’ and ‘Brilliant Mistake.’

“For any songwriter, it has to be a compliment if people want to hear songs written up to fifty years ago. Among them, ‘Radio Soul,’ the first draft of what eventually became ‘Radio Radio,” Elvis said of the run. “You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure. Don’t forget this show is “Performed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters”, an ensemble which includes three people who first recorded this music and two more who bring something entirely new. They are nobody’s tribute band. The Imposters are a living, breathing, swooning, swinging, kicking and screaming rock and roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.”

 The band were also previously announced as special guests to Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts across a run of UK and European dates, as part of the Love Earth World Tour. Kicking off on June 17, 2026, in Cornwall, England, the summer run will include headlining concerts and festival appearances across France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and The Netherlands. Tickets are available HERE.

These dates follow the autumn 2024 release of King Of America & Other Realms – a 6-CD anthology that tells the story of that 1986 album and the music to which it led. The King Of America songs are expected to be heard in the mid-show interlude, along with songs written as long ago as 1975 and even some of those “pretty ballads” that Costello has promised.
