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.
