The official announcement: NEON and Universal Pictures International announce the global theatrical release of acclaimed visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann’s (Elvis, The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge!) EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert with a one-week exclusive IMAX engagement on February 20, 2026.
The release will allow audiences around the world to immerse themselves in a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience, hearing Elvis perform and tell his story like never before, with the unmatched power of IMAX. Following the one-week engagement, EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert will hit theaters everywhere on February 27th.
From Sony Music Vision, Bazmark, and Authentic Studios, the film debuted to critical acclaim and a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival, people even danced in the aisles. Vogue hailed the movie as “a burst of concert-film adrenaline,” while Variety described it as “One of the Most Exciting Concert Films You’ve Ever Seen.” EPiC features long-lost footage from Presley’s legendary Vegas residency in the 1970s, 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,’.
EPiC marks Luhrmann’s second major project centered around Elvis Presley, following Elvis in 2022, which earned eight Academy Award® nominations, won multiple BAFTA’s® and Golden Globes®, and grossed nearly $300 million worldwide. With EPiC, Luhrmann transforms unearthed archival material
into an electrifying cinematic odyssey that captures Elvis at his best; raw, human, eccentrically humorous, intimate and electric.
And a week later, 'EPiC' will open in theaters worldwide, allowing fans in virtually every country to experience the film. This makes February 2026 an already exciting month for Elvis fans.
'EPiC - Elvis Presley in Concert' brings Elvis back to the big screen, bigger, bolder, and more impressive than ever. The film combines rare footage, newly remastered footage, and innovative editing, bringing the magic of Elvis's onstage energy to life for a new generation.
