After being confirmed as part of the epic 2023 Bluesfest line-up, Elvis Costello & The Imposters have today unveiled three massive headline shows for April.
Following their appearance at the highly anticipated Byron Bay festival over the Easter long weekend, Costello and co will treat fans at Sydney Opera House on April 9 & 10 before venturing to Melbourne to play another iconic venue, Palais Theatre, on April 13.
“It’s been twelve years since our first appearance at the Byron Bay Bluesfest - when we shared an evening bill with Bob Dylan, and I got to sit in with Mavis Staples,” Costello said.
“I see a number of friends and favourites are on this year’s bill, so who knows what thrills, spills and encounters may take place.
“There is nothing that jolts a show alive so much as a stack of strong new songs but we recorded The Boy Named If while locked away in our lairs and hideaways, so bringing those songs to the stage has made the hits and highlights of the songbook ring out anew.
“The Imposters will make their Sydney Opera House bow 39 years after I made my solo debut at that legendary venue.
“We are bringing guest guitarist, Charlie Sexton with us, along for all our works and wonders for two nights at the Sydney ‘Work’ House before heading to Melbourne to play the Palais on this long overdue but all too brief visit to Australian shores.
