Info
Elvis Costello & The Imposters bring a career-spanning set to O2 City Hall Newcastle on 6 July 2026. From the taut songwriting of My Aim Is True and the new wave charge of This Year’s Model and Armed Forces to later forays into soul, country and chamber pop, Costello has moved across styles throughout his career. Work with The Attractions shaped the early sound; collaborations with the Brodsky Quartet, Burt Bacharach and Allen Toussaint broadened the canvas. With The Imposters, he reconnects those threads on stage, mixing rockers and ballads, jagged riffs and more ornate arrangements drawn from across the catalogue.
Charlie Sexton, Austin-born guitarist and vocalist, opens a complementary chapter. First noticed with the 80s-leaning Pictures for Pleasure before steering toward a more roots-driven blues rock, he co-founded Arc Angels and has logged stretches in Bob Dylan’s touring band. Between solo work and studio sessions, Sexton cultivates a melodic, guitar-forward approach that sits comfortably alongside Costello’s songbook, bringing interplay that leans into blues, rock and Americana.
