August 05 - Elvis On Tour Down Under

Following on from the release of last year’s incredible million-selling album, "If I Can Dream" comes the announcement of a 2017 tour of Australia and New Zealand for this new "live concert experience" featuring Elvis Presley backed by a new Orchestra backing.  This follows on from the six date UK run in November. 

The "remixed" album 'If I Can Dream' was a big success in Australia (#1) and New Zealand (#3), while in the US it disappointingly only made #21 in the Billboard charts. The album used archive recordings of The King’s voice featuring new orchestral arrangements of some of his biggest hits.
This will be re-created in concert using a 40-piece orchestra to replicate the original album work of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Now Australian and New Zealand fans will have a chance to experience the man who changed the course of popular music live on screen, with a full 40-piece Orchestra live on stage performing the King of Rock and Roll’s most well-known “rocking” songs and his tender, heart-wrenching ballads.
No concerts dates have been announced as yet, Tickets should go on sale next month.

Promised Land

The 1975 "Promised Land" album has been re-issued by the Friday Music label as a limited edition on gold colored 180 Gr. vinyl.
