Elvis Costello has made his way into the southern hemisphere and stopped over in New Zealand on the weekend to play a 29 song set for Auckland.
Costello is heading to Australia later this week for his first show in Melbourne on Friday before he hits Rochford Winery on Saturday for the first of his A Day On The Green shows.
The A Day On The Green show this Saturday in the Yarra Valley will be the 300th ADOTG event.
Last week, Elvis told Noise11 that we would give music up for comedy.
