The official birthday proclamation for Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday occurred today outside Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
A number of speeches took place before the giant birthday cake was cut in front of a crowd of fans.
Among them was one made by Joel Weinshanker, Managing Partner Graceland Holdings LLC, who always likes to tease what’s coming up next in the Elvis world.
Most recently he’s been in London producing Elvis Evolution, the new immersive experience set to open in May, which he says is “going to be something no one’s ever seen before”.
In fact, if you enter the code “90th” at checkout before midnight on Sunday, you can purchase two tickets for £90 total here.
And if that wasn’t enough, Joel had more exciting news on the feature film front.
Joel shared: “Obviously, this is Elvis’ 90th. My job for the next 24 months is the march to 50.” What the Graceland boss meant by this is that 2027 marks 50 years since the King’s death, which is the next big milestone anniversary after what would have been his 90th birthday today.
He continued: “You’re going to see more… as you know I get into trouble every year because I tell you things I’m not supposed to tell you yet. But you’re going to be amazed at what you’re going to see as we walk into 50.” He then revealed that new films are in the works for 2027.
Joel added: “[There’s] the new movie projects, documentaries… Elvis was a first adapter, so technology where you’re really going to be able to see things that we were all too young to have ever seen before. [The King’s granddaughter] Riley [Keough] actually really wanted to be here today but she couldn’t. But you will be seeing Riley here in 2025 at Graceland. She’s heavily involved in a couple of the projects that we’re working on. The best is yet to come.”
