After a lengthy winter tour at the start of 2023, which included a 10-night residency at New York’s Gramercy Theatre, Elvis Costello & The Imposters are embarking on a summer stint across North America.

Billed as the We’re All Going on a Summer Holiday Tour, the two-month-long trek will see the outfit cross-cross the United States and Canada through June and July. Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets will come along for support. See a full list of upcoming tour dates below.
Aside from the months of touring, this year has already been a busy one for Costello who recently released The Songs of Bacharach & Costello. The Burt Bacharach-Elvis Costello box set features a collection of their collaborations throughout the years. Costello honored the late Bacharach at a show earlier this year.
“A really great man left us yesterday,” Costello said to the crowd at the February 9 show, a day after Bacharach’s passing. “And people say when somebody reaches a great age, they say, ‘Well, it was a good ending.’ Yeah, it’s never time to say goodbye to somebody if you love them and I’m not ashamed to say I did love this man and for everything he gave, Mr. Burt Bacharach.”
Costello then honored Bacharach with a performance of “Baby, It’s You,” the 1961 single the late composer co-wrote for the Shirelles, as well as the 1963 Dionne Warwick hit, “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” that Bacharach co-wrote alongside lyricist Hal David.
