Elvis Costello is to follow his London Christmas shows with a full British tour in January.
With his third album Armed Forces scheduled for release on January 5, Elvis and the Attractions begin a 30-date British tour just after Christmas — their first UK foray since the This Year's Model tour last spring.
The tour begins on December 27 at the Brighton Top Rank following their seven night stint at the Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road, London.
Support acts on both the Dominion gigs and the tour will be John Cooper Clarke and Richard Hell and the Voidoids.
As a special bonus to Costello fans, Radar have included free with the initial pressing a three-track EP recorded live at Hollywood High School during Elvis's third American tour last June. The tracks are "Alison," "Accidents Will Happen," and "Watching The Detectives."
Track listing for Armed Forces is: Side One: "Accidents Will Happen"; "Senior Service"; "Oliver's Army"; "Big Boys"; "Green Shirt"; "Party Girl." Side Two: "Goon Squad"; "Busy Bodies"; "Sunday's Best"; "Moods For Moderns"; "Chemistry Class"; "Two Little Hitlers."
