Elvis Presley fans will be treated with a special UK tour in November 2019, featuring the King's original and long time backing group the TCB Band.

A new tour celebrating Elvis Presley's biggest and best hits has been announced.

The Greatest Hits tour will arrive at six arenas across the UK in November and December 2019.

What was Elvis Presley's final ever live performance?

Not only will it feature performances from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - who have also played on two chart-topping albums of Elvis's work - the show will also feature the TCB Band, the King's original and longtime backing band.

Priscilla Presley and Elvis's long term associate Jerry Shilling will appear on stage each night, where they will share stories, personal photos and rare home movies.

The 2019 tour will mark 50 years since Elvis returned to live performing with a famous Las Vegas residency in 1969.

“We’re BACK and better than ever!" Priscilla said.

"I am thrilled and honoured to be returning to the UK. Please join me live on stage to present this brand new show backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Elvis’s TCB Band, never before seen new footage of Elvis, and more surprises, including, Jerry Schilling and myself on stage sharing our stories.

"This will be a once in a lifetime show... you won’t want to miss."

Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Friday (April 12).
