Elvis Tour 2019

April 08, 2019 | People

One of the most unique concert experiences of recent years is set to return for 2019 having won the hearts of critics and fans alike, as Elvis is set once again to be back at The O2 on Sunday, December 1st 2019.

The show will see the King once again up close on screen alongside the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra live on stage, with this year being extra special as they will also be joined by The TCB Band – Elvis’ original and longtime backing band. This is the only chance to experience the man who changed the course of popular music, selling an unparalleled 1 billion records worldwide.

Marking 50 years since Elvis’ triumphant return to live performing - as he took up his infamous Las Vegas residency in 1969 - the 2019 tour will feature very special personal appearances from Priscilla Presley and long term Elvis associate Jerry Schilling, who will be sharing intimate stories, personal photos plus rare home movies.

On the tour, Priscilla Presley said: “We’re BACK and better than ever! 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.”

With Elvis never having toured the UK, or performing with a full sized orchestra as were two of his dreams, these shows are a chance to both honour the legacy of an icon who has defined popular culture for over half a century, and for fans to see ‘The King’ live, who never had the chance to before.

Tickets are on sale Friday, April 12th at 9am.

The first show was excellent, superb conductor and participation from the orchestra with great backing singers. The atmosphere was electric and the crowd had a great time. The second show had less atmosphere and a less participating audience which I put down to fuzzy picture quality during the TTWII songs. Hopefully that will be rectified this time round.

I’m sure Elvis will be in great shape and vocals on the screen, but when they say the orchestra: “will also be joined by The TCB Band – Elvis’ original and longtime backing band” – what original backing band are they talking about? John Wilkinson and all the original Sweet Inspirations have died, Jerry Scheff seems to have retired, and at the time of the concerts the remaining members will hopefully be alive but Glen D. Hardin and James Burton will be 80 years old and Ron Tutt 82…
