Elvis Costello and Blondie at Pechanga Entertainment Center

Why see Elvis Costello and Blondie?

Blondie & Elvis Costello's Co-Headline Tour

Two iconic New Wave acts join forces for a hotly anticipated Summer Tour! Revel in the sounds of 70s punk, British invasion rock and disco when troubadour poet Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Blondie hit the road together on a co-headline jaunt, performing around the US for 14 special dates. 

The Debbie Harry-fronted New York outfit formed in 1974, originally playing two shows under the moniker Angel and the Snake before changing their name to the iconic Blondie after Harry was catcalled by a truck driver, who shouted 'Hey Blondie' as he drove past. To date, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have sold over 40 million records worldwide thanks to an adventurous creative spirit and career-defining songs like Heart Of Glass and Call Me

Although Costello came up in the British punk scene, he shares a history with Blondie, having both emerged in the 70s and shared spots on top of the charts with their respective third albums. Celebrated as one of the greatest living songwriters, his literate, astute and poetic lyrics, as well as a musical eclecticism that fuses any genre he pleases, marks him with the same legendary status as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.

Worst Sound Ever

Blondie was Fantastic and put on a great show with a very good sound mix. Unfortunately the sound mix for Elvis Costello was so bad I had to put my earplugs in immediately. The bass was SOO loud and distorted it rattled through my whole body and wrecked the sound mix for Elvis. I'm giving 4 Stars to Blondie for a great set that was cut short due to a weather delay that cut out some of their hits. ... Read more

Blondie and Elvis Costello

Went mostly to see Blondie, they were great! I love Deborah Harry and the band was really excellent. Happily they played a limb set because Elvis sound was terrible! We were close to the stage and I put Kleenex in my ears after his first song 5. It was my teenager’s first concert. We left before Elvis finished his set. I saw him years ago and won’t go see him anymore. ... Read more
