The planned 20-week coast-to-coast tour — a live concert celebration of the late Presley — will kick off in September 2011 and continue through the spring of 2012. The tour will feature four of the world's greatest Elvis tribute artists (winners of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition) paying homage to the king during various stages of his career, an Ann-Margret tribute artist, live band and back-up singers and dancers.
"The partnership between On Stage Touring, Troika Entertainment and Elvis Presley Enterprises provides the only authentic touring showcase of Elvis tribute artists for fans who want to experience the music and live performance charisma of one of the most popular recording artists in history," stated Brian Brigner, chief operating officer of On Stage.
