Elvis tribute show 'This is Elvis' by Ben Portsmouth, the 'Worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist', touring the UK.
Ben Portsmouth brings This is Elvis to the Swansea Grand Theatre on Thursday 19 November, as part of his This is Elvis 2026 Tour. He's performing with the Taking Care of Elvis Band, and the show runs from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm.
The set is built around Elvis Presley's career, tracing it from his early rockabilly roots through to the dazzling Las Vegas years. It's a chronological look at the different eras of Presley's recording life, so you'll hear the raw, early sound alongside the more polished, big-band style of his later years. The Taking Care of Elvis Band provides the backing for the whole thing.
Portsmouth is billed as the closest living performer to Elvis Presley. In 2012, Elvis Presley Enterprises crowned him the 'Worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist' in Memphis, and he was the first European to receive the title. Since then, he's performed in more than 20 countries and was invited to headline an Elvis week on the Late Show with David Letterman. This Swansea date is one stop on the This is Elvis 2026 Tour, which is taking the show across the UK.
