The second annual Elvis Weekend in Luxembourg will take place on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 October 2022 at the Hotel Parc Alvisse in Luxembourg-Dommeldange.
The first such event took place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2019, with the 2020 and 2021 events both being postponed.
This year, the organiser - Steven Pitman, European Elvis & Gospel Championship Winner 2015 - is hoping for a stronger, bigger and better event, and has therefore moved the event to a new venue which will allow for a bigger stage and bigger audience.
The event will celebrate the music of the one and only, undisputed King of Rock'n'Roll with a weekend packed with live entertainment featuring world class, award-winning Elvis tribute artists from the United States (US) and Europe. Live showcases will be performed with "The Celebrations", a ten-piece band with full horn section and, back by popular demand, featuring "The Passionettes", backing singers from the United Kingdom (UK).
Those participating include:
- Bill Cherry (US) - Ultimate Elvis Contest Winner 2009
- Moses Snow (US) - Images of the King World Champion Winner 2021
- Gordon Davis (Malta) - Images of the King World Champion Winner 2012
- Ciaran Houlihan (Ireland) - European Elvis Championship Winner 2012
- Aaron Walker (UK) - European Elvis Championship Winner 2019
- Lee Alexander (UK) - European Gospel Championship 2012
- Brian Troy (Denmark) - Award Winning Elvis Tribute Artist
- Peter Ryan (Netherlands) - After Show Party Host
- Plus a special surprise guest performer, to be announced closer to the event.
