Ben Thompson As Elvis

Driven by a desire to keep the memory of Elvis Presley alive in the most authentic and respectful way, Ben has toured the world paying homage to his idol.

Crowned as the 2018 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist of Graceland, Ben has won multiple titles across the globe recognising his fantastic performance.

He was also the original winner of Europe’s Tribute to Elvis in 2013 and the first international winner of Tupelo’s Ultimate Elvis Contest, including being presented with ‘the key to the city’ of Tupelo.

Ben has performed on stage alongside Elvis’ original backing singers ‘The Sweet Inspirations‘ on multiple occasions. He was recruited to play ‘Elvis’ in the 2017 sequel film Bladerunner 2049, alongside Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling.

Officially endorsed by Elvis Presley Enterprises, Ben tours the world performing in theatres, arena’s and music festivals as Elvis Presley.
As one of the few Tribute Artists who can authentically portray all eras of The King’s magnificent career, Ben’s performances will leave audiences hungry for more!
