Get all shook up for Elvis anniversary extravaganza at Port Solent.
Join in a very special celebration of the life and legacy of The King of Rock ‘n Roll to mark the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s passing.
On Saturday 19 August, from 2pm, Port Solent will be transformed into Viva Port Solent, anticipated to be the ultimate Elvis anniversary event in the south, with free live music, outdoor cinema and entertainment for all the family, until late in the evening.
The extravaganza stars the UK’s premier Elvis tribute artist Mike Nova, crowned in Memphis as Best UK Elvis Champion, fresh from BBC TV appearances and producing the largest Elvis Festival in the world every September in South Wales.
A huge helping of rock ‘n roll with bite from the Jesse Ray Band will give the feeling and excitement of being at an actual Elvis concert and ensure everyone dances the night away. To remind all how to do it the Swing Dance Company will be giving classes ready to put the moves into practice.
