Elvis Costello has extended his summer 2026 tour with a half-dozen new dates that will take his current run through September.
The new shows are part of his Radio Soul! The Songs of Elvis Costello From the Early Days to the Late Hours concerts featuring Costello and the Imposters with guitarist Charlie Sexton.
The six just-added dates are scheduled from Sept. 10 through Sept. 18.

A press release for the tour promises “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.”
“For any songwriter, it has to be a compliment if people want to hear songs written up to 50 years ago,” Costello said. “Among them, ‘Radio Soul,’ the first draft of what eventually became ‘Radio Radio.'”
Where Is Elvis Costello Playing in 2026?
Costello’s Radio Soul tour starts on June 5 in Lund, Sweden, and will play a month’s worth of concerts in Europe, including dates in Hamburg, London, Brussels and Paris, before ending on July 9 in Frankfurt.
The tour resumes on Sept. 10 with six new dates, beginning with a concert in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
From there, Costello and the Imposters — keyboardist Steve Nieve and drummer Pete Thomas, who were in the Attractions with Costello, and bassist Davey Faragher, along with Sexton — will perform shows in Cleveland and Royal Oak, Michigan, before a final date on Sept. 18 in Muskegon, Michigan.
“You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure,” Costello said. “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 ‘n’ roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.”
