Elvis Presley greatest hits UK arena tour announced for November 2019

A new tour showcasing Elvis Presley's greatest hits has been announced. 

The Greatest Hits tour will hit six arenas across the UK in November/December 2019. As well as performances from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - who have featured on two chart-topping albums performing Elvis's work - the show will feature the TCB Band, Elvis' original and longtime backing band. 

Priscilla Presley and Elvis's long term associate Jerry Shilling will also appear on stage at each date, sharing stories, personal photos and rare home movies.

The 2019 tour marks 50 years since Elvis made a triumphant return to live performing with a Las Vegas residency in 1969.

“We’re BACK and better than ever!" Priscilla said in a statement. "I am thrilled and honoured to be returning to the UK. Please join me live on stage to present this brand new show backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Elvis’s TCB Band, never before seen new footage of Elvis, and more surprises, including, Jerry Schilling and myself on stage sharing our stories. This will be a once in a lifetime show... you won’t want to miss."
