They will join the previously announced acts Ricky Aron - Europe’s Tribute to Elvis 2015 winner, Matt King - Europe’s Tribute to Elvis 2016 winner, Steve Halliday, Peter King, Mario Kombou and Paul Molloy, with more acts still to come.

The Winter Gardens have reported a ‘phenomenal’ response to tickets going on sale last week.

The venue stepped in at the eleventh hour, earlier in the summer, when organisers of three-day convention, Europe’s Tribute To Elvis, Tees Events, cancelled the event - citing a ‘family emergency’ and claiming that ‘recent events in England’ had left their guests concerned and not wishing to travel to the country.

General admission cost £65s.
