Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Headlines about Elvis Presley have been lighting up news and social media as we move through July 2025. Graceland is still the gravitational center of all things Elvis, and this past weekend saw the All-American Weekend festivities, with the mansion decked out in red, white, and blue for Independence Day. Fans enjoyed an Elvis Tribute Concert starring Emilio Santoro and Shawn Klush, followed by a fireworks extravaganza and a gospel brunch with the legendary Blackwood Brothers Quartet—reminding everyone that, even decades after his death, Elvis can still draw a crowd and put on a show, through his music and the performers he inspires, as reported by MemphisTravel.com.

But the anticipation is building for something even bigger. Graceland and Parade magazine report an “unforgettable celebration” for Elvis Week 2025, running August 8 through 16, promising thousands of fans from around the globe. This year’s extravaganza boasts special guests, including Elvis’s former girlfriend Linda Thompson and longtime confidantes Jerry Schilling and Brenda Lee, ensuring that the King’s personal circle will be part of the world’s largest annual Elvis party. Official social media channels have been counting down, with fans chiming in and sharing their own tributes. The iconic blue 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood that Elvis bought seventy years ago is also making headlines; Parade ran a vibrant retrospective on July 7, detailing how the car, soon repainted pink and gifted to his mother, remains a star attraction at Graceland and an enduring symbol of Presley’s style legacy.

On the business and releases front, RCA and Legacy Recordings have just announced the upcoming “Elvis Presley: Sunset Boulevard”—a deluxe box set dropping August 1. This monumental archival release features fully restored audio and video from Elvis’s Los Angeles studio sessions 1970–1975, including unheard recordings where Elvis discusses his life and music in his own voice. For vinyl collectors, a two-LP highlights edition will be released, and buzz is building as preorders sell out at dealerships, according to the Elvis Information Network.

Meanwhile, the entertainment world continues to honor Elvis’s influence. Tribute artists are performing at public libraries, festivals, and special community concerts, keeping his catalog alive for old fans and new. Notably, in Poland, a street is being named after Elvis Presley this month, reflecting his truly global legacy, according to Elvis Day By Day. The Fontainebleau in Vegas just launched a Hall of Excellence exhibit curated by Tom Brady, featuring Elvis alongside sports and entertainment legends.

In short, 2025 has been another banner year for the King, with archived treasures, public celebrations, and personal remembrances fueling a vibrant ongoing legacy. There’s no confirmed speculation or scandal—only the steady march of admiration, reissues, and tribute, punctuated by a joyful buzz as Elvis Week draws near.
