Elvis Week 2025: Graceland Unveils Star-Studded Lineup and Holiday Festivities

Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Elvis Presley’s name has dominated headlines yet again this November as Graceland, his iconic Memphis estate, announced the 2025 milestone Elvis Birthday Celebration, set for January and promising three nights of concerts, exclusive tours, and yet-to-be-named special guests. The buzz erupted early as ticket sales went live this past Friday and fans scrambled for premium packages, with the Pink Cadillac and Blue Suede Birthday Packages selling fast according to Graceland’s official channels. Presley’s influence was also visible in recent live tribute events, leading up to “One Night in Memphis” on November 22, a stage show reenacting that legendary Sun Records jam session where Elvis joined Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts. The King’s albums continue their slow climb on the charts even decades after his death; ‘ELV1S 30 #1 Hits’ jumped eight spots on the Official Album chart this week, and ‘The Essential Elvis Presley’ gained four spots on Billboard’s Top Country Album chart, a clear sign his musical footprint endures. On the holiday front, ‘Elvis’ Christmas Album’ surged from No. 45 to No. 22 on the Top Holiday Album chart, while the compilation ‘Merry Christmas … Love, Elvis’ slipped out of the rankings.In the business realm, Presley’s estate is thriving. According to Forbes’ 2025 list of highest-earning deceased celebrities, Elvis netted $17 million in posthumous revenue last year, with Graceland tourism and global licensing at the heart of those earnings. His brand has proven resilient—Graceland survived an attempted identity theft plot this summer, leaving ownership with his granddaughter Riley Keough while Authentic Brands Group retains operational control over Elvis Presley Enterprises. The family’s stake in EPE is now just 15 percent, with most profits sustained through curated licensing deals and publishing rights management. For context, while Michael Jackson again leads the dead-celebrity earnings rankings—boasting $105 million for the year—Presley remains firmly in the top 10, cementing his place as a commercial legend.On social media, Presley’s legacy flourished through Elvis Tribute Artist contests, with the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest winner announced during Elvis Week 2025. Fans exchanged nostalgia and excitement for upcoming Graceland events, and video news reports chronicled chart successes and new album releases. While rumors swirl regarding future film projects—such as a mooted new Elvis biopic targeting a 2026 premiere—there are no verified confirmations from the Presley estate or authentic representatives. Beyond earnings, headlines focused on Presley’s enduring cultural impact, from sold-out hotel brunches at The Guest House at Graceland to ongoing celebrations of his military service through special tours. Each of these developments underscores a simple truth: Elvis Presley remains an unstoppable American icon, still shaking up newsfeeds and business columns nearly fifty years after his passing.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Forbes dropped its annual rankings and The King made the top ten highest-paid departed celebrities with a reported $17 million in earnings since last November.
