In celebration of the annual event — now offering its first-ever virtual component — Graceland has announced it will be adding ten new immersive experiences to Elvis Presley’s Memphis Complex starting on Saturday, August 8th, and SiriusXM is airing specials on Elvis Radio (Ch. 19) to ring in the occasion.

In addition to hearing these specials on-air, fans can experience a modified Elvis Week from August 8 through Sunday, August 16 at Graceland. While any potential high-risk activity has been eliminated, Graceland will host a series of pre-recorded daily screening events that are a blend of new panels featuring those who knew Elvis, new interviews with Elvis tribute artists, new content pieces from the Graceland Archives, drive-in movies, and specially edited concert shows that look back on the best of Elvis Weeks past, including the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, concerts featuring Elvis’ bandmates and backup singers, and Elvis films on the big screen.
In addition, those visiting Graceland during Elvis Week will be among the first to experience 10 all-new state-of-the-art, immersive experiences that invite guests to become the king or queen of social media! Fans now have the opportunity to get closer to Elvis than ever before via new virtual and augmented reality activities.
For fans who can’t make it to Memphis, Graceland is offering their first-ever Virtual Elvis Week. Content includes past Elvis Week concerts and panels, new interviews with bandmates, co-stars and friends, new behind-the-scenes Graceland content, a look back at previous candlelight vigils, Elvis tribute artists, and, of course, a live stream view of the 2020 Candlelight Vigil (the live stream will also be available free of charge on Graceland.com).
