Elvis Costello announces Coventry show


James Rodger

Legendary cult singer-songwriter will perform at University of Warwick venue

Elvis Costello has announced a Coventry show.

The cult singer-songwriter takes his acclaimed Detour solo show for another spin in May, with one of five UK dates taking place at Warwick Arts Centre.

Costello is one of our most loved singer-songwriters, and will revisit his back catalogue in this forthcoming tour.

Critics round the globe have waxed lyrical about this incredibly entertaining walkthrough, with a variety of signature hits being aired, from "Oliver's Army" and "Accidents Will Happen," to "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down," and "Pump It Up."

As part of this nostalgic and joyous tour, Costello will perform covers by Brinsley Schwarz, Cliff Edwards, Charles Aznavour and Sam & Dave as he takes to the stage at the Coventry venue on Monday, May 9.

After that, he will play four consecutive nights at the London Palladium.

Born and raised in London and Liverpool, Costello is the grandson of a trumpet player on the White Star Line and son of a jazz musician who became a successful radio dance band vocalist.

The musician went into the family business and had taken the popular music world by storm before he was twenty-four.

Warwick Arts Centre is a hub for arts and culture at the University of Warwick, regularly welcoming top-class musicians and exhibitions for people of all ages to enjoy.
