ELVIS WEEK IN NASHVILLE: “ELVIS: THE ’68 COMEBACK LIVE!” RETURNS TO FACTORY AT FRANKLIN FOR TWO NIGHTS ONLY AUGUST 17–18

Graceland's Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist World Champions Cote Deonath and Emilio Santoro Recreate the King’s Legendary ’68 Comeback Special — Live, Up Close and In the Round

NASHVILLE, TN — Elvis Week comes to Middle Tennessee as “ELVIS: The ’68 Comeback LIVE!” returns by popular demand for two performances only, August 17 and 18, 2026 at 7:30 p.m., at Turner Theater at The Factory at Franklin, just outside Nashville.

The acclaimed theatrical concert experience stars two of the world’s most celebrated Elvis tribute artists: Cote Deonath, Graceland’s 2023 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist World Champion, and Emilio Santoro, Graceland’s 2024 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist World Champion.

Performed up close and in the round, “ELVIS: The ’68 Comeback LIVE!” transports audiences back to one of the most important moments in music and television history — Elvis Presley’s legendary 1968 television comeback special.

From the iconic white suit to the unforgettable black leather jumpsuit, audiences will experience the look, sound, energy and excitement of the television event that reintroduced Elvis to America and helped launch one of the greatest comebacks in entertainment history.

Rather than simply watching the show from a traditional theater seat, fans will be immersed in the experience, with the intimate in-the-round staging designed to capture the raw, spontaneous atmosphere that made Elvis’ original ’68 Comeback Special so electrifying.

With two consecutive Graceland world champions taking the stage, the production offers Elvis fans a unique opportunity to experience the music and magic of the King during Elvis Week — without leaving Middle Tennessee.

The newly opened Turner Theater at The Factory at Franklin provides an intimate setting for the production, with numerous reserved-seating options available, including ringside VIP seating, table seating, box seats and more. The in-the-round configuration means audiences are close to the action from throughout the venue.
