The Elvis World Tour returns to Hull’s Bonus Arena

A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION: Shawn Klush as The King

By Rick Lyon

The world’s biggest and most successful Elvis tribute show is returning to the Bonus Arena on Friday, October 6.

The Elvis World Tour features three winners of Elvis Presley Enterprises’ Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest - Shawn Klush (USA), Dean Z (USA) and Ben Thompson (UK).

The show visited the Bonus Arena last Autumn to critical acclaim.

Shawn Klush first burst onto the UK scene when six million viewers tuned in to see him crowned the winner of BBC One’s The World’s Greatest Elvis. Soon after, Shawn was also crowned the first-ever ‘Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Champion’ in Memphis, Tennessee.

ALL SHOOK UP: Dean Z strutting his stuff

Fellow American Dean Z, regarded as the world’s most exciting Elvis performer, brings the 1968 Comeback Special to life on stage in this show. Dean won the prestigious EPE Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in 2013.

The show also features Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist champion Ben Thompson, who won the 2018 contest with his extraordinary performances. Ben performs the exciting early years of Elvis in this show.

A spokesman for the show said: “Don’t miss this incredible production, starring three of the world’s very best Elvis tribute artists together in one show with an incredible live band and orchestra.”

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday, June 2, from www.bonusarenahull.com or by visiting Ticketmaster.
