Elvis Costello And The Imposters have announced a string of UK Tour dates for 2022.
Supporting the group’s forthcoming album, ‘The Boy Named If Tour’ kicks off at the Brighton Dome on June 5, before wrapping at London’s Hammersmith Eventim Apollo on June 23.
Of the project, which has the full title ‘The Boy Named If (And Other Children’s Stories)’, Costello says: “‘IF’ is a nickname for your imaginary friend; your secret self, the one who knows everything you deny, the one you blame for the shattered crockery and the hearts you break, even your own.”
Catch Elvis Costello & The Imposters, as well as Charlie Sexton, on tour in the UK next year! Tickets on sale this Friday.
