Europe's Tribute to Elvis Festival


EUROPE’S LARGEST OFFICIAL ELVIS PRESLEY
ENTERPRISES LICENSED FESTIVAL UNDER ONE ROOF
“EUROPE’S TRIBUTE TO ELVIS”
“IF YOU ONLY ATTEND ONE EVENT ALL YEAR, THIS SHOULD BE
THE ONE!”
Elvis Fans across the globe get ready for an amazing festival honouring the life, music and
fans of Elvis Presley. On 3rd – 5th July, 2015, the third annual Europe’s Tribute to Elvis festival
will be held in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, at the world-famous Winter Gardens. This will
be an event unlike any experienced before.
The festival will feature many great Elvis-themed shows. Friday’s “Long Live The King” is an
incredible show to celebrate Elvis’ 80th birthday year. Saturday’s “Ultimate Elvis Trilogy” is a
spectacular celebration for the 4th July. Sunday’s “Spirit of the King,” is a wonderful
showcase of Elvis’ gospel music, followed by “Elvis the Movie Years,” a musical journey
through Elvis’ Hollywood career.
Elvis hits from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s will be performed by three of the world’s best Elvis
Tribute Artists: all winners of the Elvis Presley Enterprises “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist
Contest.” Cody Ray Slaughter, star of “Million Dollar Quartet” on Broadway, is the 2011
World Champion and the youngest man to hold the title. Ben Portsmouth is the only man from outside the USA to be named World Champion, having won in 2012. Winner in 2013,
Dean Z, has portrayed Elvis in both film and theatre.
Making appearances throughout the weekend are the legendary Blackwood Quartet and
Elvis’ original backing singers, The Sweet Inspirations. Backing all the headline shows is the
brilliant TCE Band, which this year features orchestral accompaniment.
The festival includes Europe’s only official preliminary heat of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute
Artist Contest. Twenty five tribute artists from all over the world will compete to be
crowned Europe’s Tribute to Elvis Champion 2015 and pick up the biggest cash prize in
Europe. The winner will also qualify to enter the contest finals, which are held during Elvis
Week in Memphis, August 2015.
The contest will be judged by our celebrity panel consisting of the Queen of Rock, Suzi
Quatro; Elvis’ friend and bodyguard, Sam Thompson; Elvis’ tour producer and friend,
Charles Stone; and Elvis’ co-star in “Follow That Dream,” Anne Helm. In addition to judging
the contest, our celebrity guests will be sharing memorable stories about Elvis Presley in our
“Conversations on Elvis” series of on-stage interviews.
The full festival schedule, details of all showcase acts and box office are available on the
