Everything you need to know about the Elvis hologram concert

Elvis Presley may have died in 1977 but the King of Rock 'n' Roll is being brought back to life, in a sense, through the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

The musician will be at the heart of a new immersive experience, the world's first dedicated to the Jailhouse Rock singer, that will give fans a new and insightful look into Presley's life and career. Titled Elvis Evolution, the experience will debut in London before heading to Las Vegas, Berlin and Tokyo.

When is Elvis Evolution coming to London?

Elvis Evolution will debut on the London stage in November 2024, with British company Layered Reality set to put the show together.

The immersive experience will give attendees deeper insight into the singer's life and will culminate in a life-size digital version of Presley performing his greatest hits during iconic moments from his career.

Layered Reality founder and CEO Andrew McGuinness said of the concert: "Elvis Evolution is a next generation tribute to the musical legend that is Elvis Presley. Elvis maintains superstar status globally and people around the world no longer want to sit there and passively receive entertainment – they want to be a part of it.

"It’ll be a memory-making experience that will be a bucket list item for Elvis fans and admirers around the world; people can step into the world of Elvis, walk in his shoes and celebrate his extraordinary musical legacy."
