The UK and Ireland leg of Costello & Nieve In Concert continues at the London Palladium for the second of two nights on September 22, 2024.
This will only be Elvis' tenth appearance at this venue. Curiously, he has never played the venue with a band, unless you count Larkin Poe on Detour in 2016. Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets play the venue shortly afterwards (on 24 September).
According to Wikipedia the venue opened in 1910. It has a seated capacity of 2.286. In 2018, Sir Bruce Forsyth's ashes were laid to rest under the Palladium's stage.
This second show was added to the tour after the first night (21 Sept) at the venue sold out.
On May 29, after tickets went on sale, it was announced that Elvis and Steve would be joined by the Brodsky Quartet.

Elvis wrote: "Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve are delighted to announce that they will be joined by their friends, the Brodsky Quartet for their second show at the @thelondonpalladium on 22nd September.
The repertoire that night will include selections from “The Juliet Letters”, arrangements for both quartet and piano quintet from Costello’s songbook, along with other song surprises."
Elvis has not performed with The Brodsky Quartet since an appearance in Norway in August 2013. The members of the quartet have changed since then. They will also join Elvis and Steve for two shows in Dublin. Elvis has not performed any songs from "The Juliet Letters" since 2009, apart from "The Birds Will Still Be Singing" which he and Steve played twice on their European Tour in 2023 and at the Gramercy Theatre shows that year.
Tickets are priced between £58.00 and £125 plus the usual booking fees. Only about 30 tickets are still available here: LWTheatres.

Can’t wait for this (and the night before it either actually). Last saw Elvis with Brodskys at the Barbican in I think 2010, an unforgettable night on which the last song was the premiere of One Bell Ringing.
