Elvis Costello has extended his upcoming tour, titled Radio Soul!: The Early Songs of Elvis Costello, with 22 new East Coast and Midwest shows. They begin in September and continue into October.
The first leg, announced late last year, also features the Imposters with Charlie Sexton and runs through June and July. The Imposters include Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher. See a complete list of dates, cities and venues below.

Costello says he’s focusing on material spanning 1977’s My Aim Is True and 1986’s Blood and Chocolate, including favorites like “Alison” and “Watching the Detectives” – as well as a few surprises along the way.
“You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure,” Costello said in an official statement. “Don’t forget this show is ‘performed by Elvis Costello and 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, kicking and screaming rock ‘n’ roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.”
This tour follows 2024’s King of America and Other Realms, a six-disc anthology focusing on the early 1986 album that preceded Blood and Chocolate. Costello is expected to play songs from King of America during the mid-show interludes.
