Elvis Presley may have left the world in 1977, but his music, voice, and stage presence continue to inspire millions of fans across generations. In 2026, fans are getting a very special gift with the release of EPiC: Elvis Presley Live in Concert, a new film and soundtrack produced by visionary director Baz Luhrmann. This project brings Elvis back to life on stage in a way audiences have never seen before.
The official soundtrack for EPiC: Elvis Presley Live in Concert will be released on February 20 by Sony’s Legacy Recordings and RCA Records. The same day, the film will premiere in theaters with a one-week exclusive IMAX run, followed by a worldwide release on February 27 through NEON and Universal Pictures. For Elvis fans, February will be a month to remember.
A Treasure Found in the Vaults
While working on his hugely successful 2022 Elvis biopic, Baz Luhrmann and his team made an incredible discovery. Deep inside the Warner Bros. vaults, they uncovered long-hidden film negatives and audio recordings from two legendary Elvis documentaries: Elvis: The Way It Is, which followed his 1970 Las Vegas residency, and Elvis On Tour, which captured his 1972 U.S. tour. Along with these, the team also found never-before-seen 8mm footage and rare audio of Elvis talking openly about his life.
Restoring this material took years. Luhrmann worked with Oscar-nominated editor Jonathan Redmond and Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production team to carefully bring the footage and sound back to life. What they uncovered was more than just great performances. They found a deeper, more personal Elvis—relaxed on stage, emotionally connected to his fans, and performing with warmth, confidence, and humanity.
A Fresh Sound With Modern Remixes
The EPiC soundtrack features 27 tracks from the film. It combines classic live recordings with modern updates, remixes, and medleys. These new versions respect Elvis’s original performances while adding a fresh sound for today’s listeners.
Some highlights include Jamieson Shaw’s remixes of “In the Ghetto” and “Love Me”, which bring a modern feel without losing the emotion of Elvis’s voice. There is also a remix of “Don’t Fly Away” by Australian electronic group PNAU, adding a contemporary twist to the legendary singer’s work.
The album moves through powerful moments—from emotional ballads to high-energy rock and gospel performances—showing just how versatile Elvis truly was.
A Historic Moment for Elvis Fans
The announcement of the soundtrack came on a meaningful day: the birthday Elvis would have celebrated if he were still alive. He passed away on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42, but his influence remains timeless. This project honors not just the performer, but the man behind the music.
Baz Luhrmann’s love for Elvis is clear. His 2022 Elvis movie earned more than $288 million worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing music biopic of all time. With EPiC, Luhrmann continues his mission to preserve and reintroduce Elvis’s legacy to the world.
Release Formats and Tracklist
The EPiC soundtrack will be available digitally and on CD on February 20, with a special 2-LP vinyl edition arriving on April 24. Vinyl collectors and longtime fans will especially appreciate this release.
