Elvis Costello has extended his “Radio Soul” tour – now billed as – “The Songs of Elvis Costello From The Early Days to the Late Hours”. These six new dates travel from the Mid-Atlantic to the Midwest, and Canada, starting September 10th in Lancaster, PA, and running through September 18th in Muskegon, MI, and are currently the only scheduled North American appearances with an electric band. The newly added shows follow a European tour which kicks off in Lund, Sweden on June 5th, all of which will take place before Costello performs at Riot Fest in Chicago.

Starting in summer 2025, “Radio Soul!: The Songs of Elvis Costello From The Early Days to the Late Hours” tour, performed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton, has sold out dozens of shows across the country and internationally.

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.”

Asked about the surprising theme of this tour, Costello responded:

“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.”

Regarding the decision to sharpen the focus on a specific period of time, Costello reminded us:

“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, kicking and screaming rock and roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.”

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

The amended billing – “Radio Soul!: The Songs of Elvis Costello From The Early Days to the Late Hours” – suggests that the audience might be in for some fresh surprises.

Recent performances of Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton received widespread acclaim:

“A worthy run-through of the early catalogue of one of music’s great songwriters. The beauty and relevance of his songs are ageless” - Addicted Magazine, 9/26/25

“Over his long career, Elvis Costello has proven to be one of the most eclectic artists in popular music.” - Parklife DC, 9/29/25

“You got the feeling that you were truly watching a legend at work, and it was a moment to be cherished” - OnMilwaukee, 10/17/25

Costello added, “I don’t want to go back, I want to bring these songs into the present day, one more time, in the event they are ever pushed out of the way by the next number that I write. You could say time is running out but only time will tell. Don’t’ be late, the band hits the stage at eight.”

This tour follows Costello’s recent appearance on the final episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, where he was part of the ensemble accompanying Paul McCartney for his closing performance of “Hello Goodbye” and on the same Ed Sullivan Theatre stage on which The Beatles made their U.S. television debut in 1964.

This was preceded by a joyful acoustic vocal arrangement of “Jump Up” shared with Stephen Colbert, Jon Batiste, and Louis Cato. “Jump Up” was written by “D.P. Costello” at the age of 21. The song has only been performed on a handful of occasions since 1975. However, a previously unheard demo rendition will be included on “The Blue Print”, a collection of acoustic performances from early 1976, issued as part of a five-disc, 49th anniversary edition of “My Aim is True”.
