AZ Vibe – The Ultimate Phoenix Entertainment Resource

One of the all time greatest rock acts is bringing a solo performance to the Desert Sky Series at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Elvis Costello will perform a wide range of hits and classic songs from his deep catalog on Friday April 9th at 7:30 PM. The Concert will take place at the Scottsdale Civic Center Amphitheater (details/location below).

I personally have seen Elvis Costello perform solo many years ago in Seattle and I can say this:

1) If you are a fan, his solo show is incredible.
2) He rarely performs solo anymore.

Tickets for this rare event are $58 and can be purchased by calling the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts box office at 480-994-ARTS (2787).

Tickets can also be purchased online via this link:
