Following the success of the last two years, and claiming to be Europe's biggest gathering of Elvis artistes and their fans, this event offers 3 days of fun and music all over the normally sleepy seaside town of Porthcawl, roughly halfway between Cardiff and Swansea.

The programme includes: an official Festival Launch on Friday with a champagne reception and the chance to meet the artists and celebrities taking part; a full-blown ÂElvis in VegasÂ experience with the Elvies Hall of Fame and The Royal Tribute Band until around 10.30pm in the Grand Pavilion, with table seating downstairs and a running bar and waitress service followed by an Elvis Disco Party until 1am.

Saturday includes the Best Festival Elvis Competition and an award show for Elvis Tribute Artists followed by the Elvis Disco Party. On Sunday there's the Chatshow, Up Close and Personal, with Elvis celebrities and later in the afternoon, the Kraig Parker Gospel Show (from Dallas, Texas) culminating in The Elvis Presley Story, a musical world premier, at 7.30pm, and featuring Mario Kombou followed by an End-of-Festival Elvis Disco Party.

A VIP ticket package (£91) is available with admission to all official shows, reserved, prime floorshow seats, T-Shirt, entry to the Pavilion VIP Bar and invitations to aftershow parties on all three nights.
