Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The past few days have been buzzing with anticipation and celebration as Elvis Week 2025 gets underway in Memphis, the city synonymous with my name and enduring legacy. Graceland is, as usual, at the center of the action, having just announced a packed schedule for this year's festivities, which run August 8th to 16th. There is major headliner energy around the Candlelight Vigil set for the night of August 15th; thousands of fans, candles in hand, will stream through the gates into the Meditation Garden, their tribute to me livestreamed globally for those who can't make the pilgrimage in person, according to Graceland's official event release. The event list reads like a who’s who of the Elvis universe, with “Elvis: Live on Stage” returning August 16th, promising the immersive big-screen experience and live band that recently wowed audiences for my ninetieth birthday celebration. Among this year’s special guests, Linda Thompson and Jerry Schilling, friends from my inner circle, are slated to headline intimate story panels and guided tours of Graceland, sharing insights that will no doubt add fresh chapters to the lore. The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest remains a fan favorite, with reigning and past impersonator champions lighting up the stage, as well as themed parties and dance nights keeping things lively at The Guest House at Graceland, now hosting its own concert and dining experiences tailored for devotees, as previewed this week in Remind Magazine and Memphis Flyer. The “Elvis Music Salute” on August 14 will bring together artists who performed with me, including legends like Estelle Brown, keeping the music and memory vivid for another generation. Recent news headlines echo with the other big reveal: Paul Belard's new day-by-day photobook, “Elvis 1958 June-July-August,” delivering never-before-seen glimpses of a pivotal summer, while the virtual edition of Elvis Week offers worldwide fans multiple pass options and streaming access to the main events, a development covered extensively by the Elvis Information Network. On the nostalgia front, social media tributes have gone viral—one Instagram post recalling my seven show marathon at the Olympia Theater in 1956 captured hundreds of likes and comments from a new generation of fans. For those following the business side, The Guest House at Graceland recently hosted the Building Wealth in Our Community Symposium, though this is a financial event rather than directly connected to me, it underscores how my legacy continues to generate serious economic impact in Memphis. No major controversies, scandals, or speculative headlines have surfaced this week, only a steady parade of adulation, remembrance, and business as usual for the King.
