Under banneret ”We’re All Going on a Summer Holiday” indleder Elvis Costello og The Imposters en turné i Nordamerika den 7. juni.
The Imposters er til lejligheden udvidet med gæsteguitaristen Charlie Sexton, mangeårigt medlem af Bob Dylans turneband, og opvarmning kommer fra vennen og kollegaen Nick Lowe og hans backinggruppe Los Straitjackets.
Nick Lowe var, hvis nogle skulle have glemt det, producer på Costellos første fem albums, og skrev ”(What’s So Funny ’Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding”, en sang Costello har haft på sit liverepertoire siden slutningen af 1970’erne.
Titlen ”We’re All Going on a Summer Holiday” er naturligvis hentet fra hitsangen ”Summer Holiday” med Cliff Richard & The Shadows fra 1963. Sangen stammer fra filmen af samme navn, og lå i øvrigt nr. 1 på hitlisten i Danmark.
Ifølge en pressemeddelelse forventes det, at flere koncerter vil blive annonceret senere i 2023.
