UK Fans - WIN Elvis VIP Box Tickets

The King is back in the building! by Graham Walker

ELVIS Presley left the building almost 30-years ago - with his untimely death, back in 1977. But we have VIP tickets to be won to see his larger than life comeback at Sheffield’s Hallam FM Arena on Saturday, April 30.

Elvis - The Concert, celebrating what would have been his 70th birthday year, features video footage of him performing live from the early 1970s, projected onto big screens above the stage. The producers have removed virtually all sound from the film except for the great man’s voice. And performing the music live on stage is a 16-piece orchestra including a group of original Elvis bandmates and backing singers. The tour has including Elvis backing groups The Sweet Inspirations, JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, The Imperials, Voice and the TCB Band.

Elvis performed over 1,000 concerts before an estimated audience of 20 million fans, but he never realised his ambition to appear in the United Kingdom. Today’s technology is now making the dream come true.
