About Porthcawl Elvis Fest
Elvis fans will return to the seaside town of Porthcawl 25-27 September 2026 for a unique celebration of The King.
During the festival, Porthcawl is transformed into a vibrant hub of Elvis-themed activities, performances, and events. The highlight of the festival is the Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, where Elvis impersonators from around the globe compete for the title of the best Elvis tribute act. These performers pay homage to Elvis by recreating his iconic looks, moves, and songs on stage.
In addition to the contest, the festival also features live music performances, street parades, vintage car displays, Elvis-themed stalls, and various family-friendly activities. Visitors can enjoy tribute concerts by renowned Elvis impersonators, dance to rock and roll classics, and immerse themselves in the Elvis culture through exhibitions and memorabilia.
The Hi Tide have supported the Porthcawl Elvis Festival since the first year and is by far the largest venue in the Festival with six stages and hundreds pf live shows throughout the weekend.
The Elvis Festival in Porthcawl has gained international recognition since its inception in 2004 and has become one of the largest Elvis events in the world. It attracts thousands of Elvis fans, both young and old, who come together to celebrate the enduring legacy of the "King of Rock and Roll."
