Elaborate stage costumes worn by the king of rock‘n’roll at some of his most famous concerts go on display in London for the first time today.

The Elvis On Tour exhibition is home to 35 outfits worn by Elvis Presley between 1969-77, sometimes referred to as his “comeback years”. In the early 1960s, he focused on films and had less success with music before storming back up the charts from 1968 until his death in 1977.

The exhibition, based at the O2 in Greenwich until February, will give an in-depth look the superstar’s life on the road. It is the first time many of the costumes have been displayed outside Graceland, the singer’s home in Tennessee that is now a museum.

The outfit Elvis donned in 1972 for his first New York arena concert at Madison Square Gardens and a blue jacket he wore when he landed in Indianapolis on June 26, 1977, for his last concert before his death aged 42, are in the collection. Also included is a gold belt given to the singer in 1969 by the International Hotel in Las Vegas to mark his record-breaking live performance run in the city, where he had 57 sellout shows in 28 days. There are also several of the “dude suits” with built-in capes that he favoured in the early 1970s.

Angie Marchese, director of archives at Graceland, said: “Elvis was one of the first to be wearing elaborate stage costumes. A lot of the write-ups of his concerts from this time were about what he was wearing as well as what he was performing.”
