EPiC Soundtrack

"EPiC : Elvis Presley In Concert" is a new music documentary from filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, focusing on the 1970's era that saw 'The King' play a lengthy residency in Las Vegas. The project was announced recently, with the film scheduled to land in IMAX theaters for a one week engagement starting February 20th, 2026, followed by a worldwide theatrical release on February 27th.

Anyone who saw Luhrmann’s 2022 biopic "ELVIS" starring Austin Butler, or simply knows details of Presley’s later years, is familiar with the context in which the famed singer found himself in Sin City for a year long residency. It’s at the heart of the biopic’s retelling of Elvis’ story, as well as this doc.

This new film, per its official description, features long lost footage from Presley’s legendary Vegas residency in the 1970's, woven together with rare 16mm footage from "Elvis On Tour" and treasured 8mm film from the Graceland archive, along with rediscovered recordings of Elvis telling his side of the story.

The film’s official soundtrack album will also arrive on February 20th, 2026, on CD and digital, with a 2 LP edition to follow on April 10th. It will feature recordings heard in the upcoming film, featuring updated mixes of iconic live performances alongside new remixes and medleys of classic Elvis recordings.

Coupled with remixes and medleys that blend, reimagine and interpret Presley in bold new directions, the resulting film and soundtrack are a testament to Elvis’ 1970's performances as "startlingly ahead of their time” (Variety) and “the singer at his most mesmerizing” (The Guardian). The soundtrack album is executive produced by Baz Luhrmann.

Said Luhrmann of the inspiration behind the soundtrack album, “We were constantly asking ourselves, what would Elvis do if he were around? How might he experiment, where might he go? He was always a musical searcher, looking for different flavors and sounds”.

Said Luhrmann earlier this year about this project’s undertaking, “There has always been talk amongst Elvis’ fans, both longtime fans and newer fans brought in by our film Elvis, of missing reels and never before seen concert footage. During the making of 'ELVIS', from very early on in my process, I had the privilege to access the studio’s vaults deep in the salt mines of Kansas, where troves of old film negatives are stored. We were astonished by the sheer volume of unused footage from Elvis. 'That’s The Way It Is', the film of Elvis’ legendary 1970 Summer Festival in Las Vegas, all shot on anamorphic 35mm, and also from Elvis’ road concert film from two years later, 'Elvis on Tour'.”
