Elvis Presley will make a stage comeback in 2024 in London, UK, this time as a hologram. The King of Rock will be “brought back to life” using hologram technology and Artificial Intelligence for an “immersive concert experience” titled Elvis Evolution.
Conceived by British company Layered Reality, Elvis Evolution is expected to have its debut at some point in November. After the initial run, the show will embark on a world tour that will include stops in Las Vegas, Berlin, and Tokyo.
According to the press release shared by Layered Reality, the show will be based on “musician’s personal photos and home-video footage” and feature a life-size digital version of Presley performing his biggest hits. It will be followed by an after-party that will take place in an Elvis Presley-themed restaurant and bar and include live performances.
“The show peaks with a concert experience that will recreate the seismic impact of seeing Elvis live for a whole new generation of fans, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy,” Layered Reality adds. “Through AI and groundbreaking tech you’ll be able to witness iconic Elvis performances as if you were really there, and celebrate defining moments in Elvis Presley’s extraordinary life and career.”
Elvis Presley isn’t the first music legend to return to the stage as a hologram. In the past, music icons like Tupac Shakur, Roy Orbison, and Whitney Houston all received a hologram treatment. Currently, a hugely successful ABBA Voyage virtual concert residency, featuring digital versions of Swedish pop legends ABBA, is underway at London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
