Elvis Costello, who completed a run of seven concerts at London's Dominion Theatre on Christmas Eve, will be back in London on January 30 at the end of his current tour with a show at the Hammersmith Palais.
Costello and the Attractions decided to play the show because of the high ticket demand for the Dominion concerts, and also because they were unhappy at the treatment of their audiences by bouncers in the seated theatre and want to play in an unseated
venue.
Tickets for the Palais, which holds about 3.000 people, cost £2.50 and are on sale now. Costello will be supported by John Cooper Clarke and Richard Hell and the Voidoids despite the critical panning that Hell has received. Costello is said to be impressed by Hell's songs.
Meanwhile Costello's new album, Armed Forces, which was exclusively reviewed in last week's MM, is officially released on Friday this week.
