Elvis Costello has announced a 2025 tour focusing on his early music, with performances scheduled for June and July. The "Radio Soul! Tour" will feature songs from albums like "My Aim Is True" and "This Year's Model," with a setlist not extending beyond 1986's "Blood & Chocolate." The tour will include performances by The Imposters, featuring Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas, Davey Faragher, and Charlie Sexton, with additional shows earlier in the year featuring other musicians.
Billy Joel invited Elvis Costello to join him on stage during his historic residency at Madison Square Garden, where they performed Costello's "Pump It Up" and Joel's "Allentown" together.

Throughout the residency, Joel has had numerous surprise guests join him on stage, including Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Miley Cyrus, and more. Costello, on the other hand, will be touring the Southern U.S. with the Imposters in the new year.
Elvis Costello concluded his "We're All Going on a Summer Holiday" tour with a surprising and unconventional performance at The Met Philly. Deviating from his usual setlist, Costello explored various genres and deep cuts, leaving out many beloved songs. The show lasted two hours and 45 minutes, with only a handful of familiar tunes. Despite the unexpected nature of the performance, the audience stayed engaged, and the concert ended on a high note with a joyful collaboration with Nick Lowe.
