Elvis set for Palace party


Melody Maker

Elvis Costello And The Attractions have been added to the Santana bill for the London Crystal Palace Garden Party on September 10.

There is speculation that Chicago, touring on European dates with Santana, will also be added, but there has been no confirmation from organisers Michael Alfandary and Harvey Goldsmith. Other acts are being booked for the party, the tenth in a series that has included Eric Clapton, the Beach Boys, Pink Floyd and Elton John.
