New wave and 1980s-music enthusiasts will already know Elvis Costello by his near-patented, Buddy Holly–indebted “hot nerd” aesthetic and pristine power pop. He's inspired decades' worth of copycats with whip-smart lyrics chock-full of innovative wordplay and a seemingly never-ending stream of hits over the last 40 years. His first several releases supply a barrage of dance-ready pop hits that will likely make you want to reach, alternately, for a poodle skirt or two-toned shoes. And while hits like "Allison" and "Pump It Up" are now classics of the new-wave era, Costello has not been limited by genre, consistently reinventing the past while drawing inspiration from all over the genre map: country, jazz, and the 1950s pop and rock 'n' roll of his youth. This tour draws inspiration from the now 35-year-old album Imperial Bedroom, and effectively acts as the second half of last year's "Imperial Bedroom & Other Chambers" tour.
