NEW YORK – Tickets are on sale now through TicketNetwork for two major performances of the summer: a double bill pairing the iconic New Wave acts Blondie and Elvis Costello, and Carly Rae Jepsen's tour in support of her album being released in May.
Costello, along with his band the Attractions, roared to prominence in the late 1970s and became one of the definitive bands of the punk and New Wave movements. His major songs include "Alison," "Watching the Detectives," "Pump It Up" and "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love And Understanding?"
Costello's list of awards is an impressive one. He has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, tallying one win in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category for his song, "I Still Have That Other Girl."
