Elvis may have left the building but his plastic namesake comes to Blackpool Grand February 5.

Backed by the five-piece High Noon Band, Plastic Elvis (aka comedian Tim Vine) with guests John Archer as Big Buddy Holly and songwriting legend David Martin (who wrote four songs for the real Elvis) deliver a concert dedicated to the King.

Vine explains: “when I was 11, I would stand in front of my bedroom mirror and mime to the whole of 1972’s Elvis: As Recorded at Madison Square Garden album. This is a tribute act that is 40 years in the making.”

He warns the show may contain moves that even Plastic Elvis himself isn’t expecting.
