Elvis Costello adds LA date

By overwhelming demand, Elvis Costello and the Imposters have added a May 12 performance at The Wiltern. “The Revolver Tour” will make its Los Angeles stop at The Wiltern on May 11 and May 12. Both shows go on sale tomorrow, Friday, February 11 at 10 AM and can be purchased at LiveNation.com, select Live Nation and Ticketmaster retail outlets or Charge-By-Phone at (800)745-3000.

For the first time in 25 years, Costello will let his set-list be chosen by ”The Spectacular Spinning Songbook”, a monumental game-show wheel that features 40 song-titles, including hits, rarities and very unexpected covers.

Audience members will be invited onstage where they may spin "The Wheel" and then be offered a chance to enter the "Hostage to Fortune Go-Go Cage", while their selection is performed.

Alternatively, they may choose to take a seat in the on-stage “Society Lounge”, where light refreshments will be served, during what promises to be a splendid and surprising evening.

The original Wheel was famously donated to the Hartlepool Museum Of Showbusiness Machinery but it has been meticulously reconstructed from the original blueprints.

The Imposters are: Steve Nieve (keyboards); Pete Thomas (drums) and Davey Faragher (bass).
