Elvis Lives: Singer Elvis Presley set to return to the stage

The new event, titled Elvis Evolution, will combine holographic projection, augmented reality, live theatre and multi-sensory effects. It will feature a life-size digital Elvis created from video footage and thousands of photos of the star.

British immersive-entertainment specialists Layered Reality have secured the global rights for Elvis Evolution. The company’s founder Andrew McGuinness said the show would be, “a next-generation tribute to the musical legend” and allow people to “step into the world of Elvis and walk in his shoes.” Elvis himself died in 1977, aged 42, after a string of hits that included In the Ghetto, Jailhouse Rock, and Teddy Bear.

The show is set to open in a yet-to-be disclosed London venue in November 2024. This will also be home to an Elvis-themed bar and restaurant with live music. Elvis Evolution will then move to Las Vegas, Berlin and Tokyo.
