It's now or never: This Elvis Presley experience is the closest you'll get to seeing him live
Elvis Evolution, a new multi-sensory immersive experience announced today, will combine physical sets that move, shake and transform with live actors and musicians performing the superstar's hits including 'All Shook Up' and 'Can't Help Falling in Love'.
The experience, taking place at London Excel Waterfront this spring, will take visitors on a journey through Elvis's rise to fame, from his humble beginnings in Tupelo to superstar musical icon. Visitors will witness major milestones in the singer's extraordinary career, such as some of his most memorable performances.
Images shared by Layered Reality, the immersive entertainment company behind Elvis Evolution, provide a glimpse into the show's journey through time – including the 1960s 'Bob's Burbank Diner' and Elvis's 1968 dressing room.
A third image shows backstage at NBC Studios offices, where Elvis recorded his legendary 1968 Comeback Special.
The company has used AI to breathe new life into 60-year-old footage, recreating previously unseen moments from home footage and offering fans an intimate view of Elvis the man, as well as the superstar.
The space will feature three themed bars, including a 1960s diner where there'll be themed cocktails, plus food at the Blue Hawaii bar.
The show will culminate in a performance of Elvis' 1968 song 'If I Can Dream', accompanied by a live band, with the experience ending in the 'All Shook Up' afterparty bar where the celebrations will continue.

Rise Against: Ricochet review – slick shift doesn't skimp on righteous anger
Rise Against are not the first punk band to embrace the trappings of arena rock, but few of their forerunners can say they moved between those opposing states with the confidence and style displayed here. Having spent two decades retrofitting the breakneck melodic hardcore of their early work with rafter-shaking hooks and gleaming production, the Chicago veterans' 10th album is a hulking thing, its bombast and righteous anger fed by vocalist Tim McIlrath, who finds the middle ground between Strike Anywhere and Creedence Clearwater Revival more often than you might think possible. Working in tandem with producer Catherine Marks, fresh from Grammy wins for her work on Boygenius's The Record, and mixer-to-the-stars Alan Moulder, they regularly square the circle between blood-and-guts emotion and high-sheen recording craft. McIlrath's community-minded political sloganeering finds the perfect vehicle in the wrecking-ball sonics of Sink Like a Stone and Nod, an opener that taps into the double-time urgency of their career-shaping 2006 track Prayer of the Refugee. There is a very fine line between going big and becoming broad, though, and Rise Against do occasionally cross it. I Want It All's stomping garage rock fails to rise much above pastiche, and power ballad Gold Long Gone is too slick for its own good. They pull it back thanks to moments such as Black Crown. A collaboration with Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull, it's a gut-wrenching warning against apathy as the world burns that also happens to sound like a million bucks.
