Elvis Costello will bring the ‘The Revolver ’ back to the UK in May 2012.
An overture of five uninterrupted rock and roll tunes announces Elvis Costello & the Imposters to the stage, after which members of the audience are invited to spin the gigantic vaudevillian contraption and select the next song.
Fortune may deliver hits such as ‘Oliver’s Army’, ‘Everyday I Write The Book’ and ‘Watching The Detectives’ or land on a ‘Jackpot’ selection such as ‘Time’ and ‘Girl’, demanding a sequence of songs, each containing these words.
Such career highlights as ‘Shipbuilding’ or ‘God Give Me Strength’ can spin into view alongside hidden gems from the Costello songbook like, ‘Town Cryer’ or tunes by The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash and, of course, Bob Dylan’s ‘This Wheel’s On Fire’.
Bolder participants may shake a tailfeather in the Hostage-To-Fortune Go-Go Cage, while the more reserved take a seat in the Society Lounge.
‘The Revolver Tour’ arrives following an acclaimed run of US dates during the Spring and Summer of 2011. Due to popular demand, the tour was extended three times drawing over 10,000 attendees in New York City alone and received rave notices from coast to coast.
