The late Elvis Presley is returning to the stage in an immersive concert
(Web Desk) - The late Elvis Presley is returning to the stage in an immersive concert experience this fall in London.
Titled Elvis Evolution, the show will use AI and holographic projections of the King of Rock and Roll to create the experience, created from thousands of his personal photos and home video footage, BBC reports.
Layered Reality is producing the show and said it will feature a "jaw-dropping concert experience" including a life-sized digital Elvis that "will perform iconic moments in musical history on a UK stage for the first time."
This is the same company that produced Abba Voyage, a virtual ABBA concert featuring avatars of the pop band, that premiered in 2022.
Founder and CEO Andrew McGuinness called the new show "a next-generation tribute to the musical legend" that will allow people to "step into the world of Elvis and walk in his shoes" and transport "fans back through the decades to experience his meteoric rise to fame, larger-than-life persona, and the cultural movement he catalyzed in the 1950s and 1960s."
The show is set to open in London in November, and then it will travel to Las Vegas, Berlin and Tokyo.
