Elvis Costello Concert Tickets
Spend your night watching a classic rock legend with Elvis Costello tickets. Elvis Costello was born Declan Patrick MacManus in Paddington, London. MacManus had an interest in music from a young age, influenced by his father, Ross McManus, who was a professional jazz trumpeter. He started his first band at the age of sixteen and eventually played his first official gig in 1977.
Costello took part in London’s pub rock scene and was an integral musician in the British punk and new wave music that became popular in the 1970s and 1980s. He signed to Columbia Records and formed his own backing band, The Attractions. Elvis Costello released his first major hit single “Watching the Detectives” in 1977. That same year he gained notoriety as a rebel for playing his song “Radio Radio” on Saturday Night Live even though NBC had forbidden him to perform it due to the song's controversial message. From that point forward Costello's fame skyrocketed and he continues to sell out concerts. Grab your Elvis Costello tickets today to enjoy genre-breaking music like "Pump It Up" live.
Costello released more than 30 albums following the start of his career in 1977. He appeared at the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert alongside famous musicians like Queen, Paul McCartney and David Bowie. Costello is well-known for songs like “This Town” and “Veronica.” He has also collaborated with big-name musicians like Tony Bennet and Johnny Cash. Elvis Costello has received many awards throughout his music career including two Grammy Awards. In 2003 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He also released an album in 2018 titled Look Now, which was highly regarded among the public and music critics alike.
