Elvis festival promises to leave you All Shook Up
From 9-13 January 2019, over 26,000 people will shake, rattle and roll into Parkes, NSW for the biggest tribute to Elvis Presley in the Southern Hemisphere.
The 2019 Parkes Elvis Festival program is filled to the brim with more than 150 unique Elvis-themed events that are sure to get you all shook up.
Starting out as a small get together between like-minded Elvis fans in 1993, the Festival has grown today into an international renowned phenomenon, endorsed by the estate of Elvis Presley, Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc.
This year’s Festival theme is All Shook Up, celebrating Elvis' iconic song and all things '50s.
Released in March 1957, All Shook Up quickly topped several American charts and became certified double-platinum and an instant jukebox hit. Dust off the pompadour wigs, shine those blue suede shoes, and get ready to rock and roll at this celebration of all things '50s!
Tickets are on sale now to all events. For more information visit www.parkeselvisfestival.com.au.
Have you ever attended the Parkes Elvis Festival? What did you think?
I was never a big Elvis fan. I thought some of his songs were good but I'm fed up with all the hype whenever they talk about Elvis. Sometimes a whole weekend is devoted to Elvis on the radio. Even Pricilla gets on the bandwagon to promote him. He's been dead many years now so let him rest in peace.
