Here in the UK we never got the chance to see Elvis Presley live in concert, thanks to the decisions made by Colonel Tom Parker.

In the years since his tragic death, we've had to do make do with biopics like Elvis and "live" shows featuring an on-screen Elvis with a real band or orchestra.

Not anymore, as a new technological marvel Elvis Evolution is coming to London and is promising a new way to experience the music and life story of The King.

Its creators have promised not just a basic hologram but instead a mashup of "cutting-edge digital technology, live actors and musicians, mind-blowing multimedia and heart-pounding music".

The show opens in May 2025 at Immerse LDN at London Excel Waterfront, with tickets available now and priced from £75. To warm up, you can move through Elvis Presley's career with this stunning 32-picture gallery.
