It's going to be the battle of the variety shows. Elvis Costello is getting a variety show too. The show Spectacle: Elvis Costello with... has already taped four episodes and will air in Canada, UK and in the US. Stars like Elton John, Tony Bennett, Lou Reed among many others are already confirmed guests for Spectacle. The show's format will have Elvis hanging out with guest and then collaborating with them. For instance, one of the shows has Costello performing with Elton John.

Costello said, "I'm hoping that future shows continue to embody the great joy, passion and celebration of music we've had thus far, mixed with rare poignant and powerful moments...It's early to say too much about 'Spectacle' other than it has been a wonderful and surprising experience."

The show will be airing on the Sundance Channel in the US, but an air date has not been set yet. This is exciting!
