Fans of the King are in for something truly special. Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert Film Soundtrack to Showcase Live Performances, Remixes, and Classic Medleys is set to arrive as a bold musical companion to the director’s upcoming concert film, bringing Elvis Presley’s legendary stage presence back to life in a fresh, immersive way.
A Soundtrack That Blends Legacy With Innovation
The official soundtrack for EPiC: Elvis Presley Live in Concert will be released on February 20 through Sony Legacy Recordings and RCA Records. Featuring 27 tracks pulled directly from the film, the collection combines restored live performances with modern reinterpretations.
Listeners can expect newly refreshed remixes of iconic recordings, alongside creative medleys that reimagine Elvis classics. Highlights include Jamieson Shaw’s updated versions of “In the Ghetto” and “Love Me,” as well as a contemporary remix of “Don’t Fly Away” by PNAU. The result is a soundtrack that respects Elvis’ original sound while giving it renewed energy for today’s audience.
Soundtrack and Film Release Go Hand in Hand
The album will debut on the same day as the film’s theatrical launch. The movie will first enjoy a one-week exclusive IMAX run before expanding globally on February 27 through NEON and Universal Pictures. This coordinated release ensures fans can experience both the visuals and the music as one complete celebration of Elvis’ live brilliance.
Unearthing Rare Elvis Footage
During the production of his 2022 biopic Elvis, director Baz Luhrmann and his team made an extraordinary discovery. While digging through the Warner Bros. vaults, they uncovered long-forgotten film negatives and footage from the documentaries Elvis: The Way It Is—which documented Elvis’ August 1970 Las Vegas residency—and Elvis On Tour, capturing his 1972 U.S. tour.
Alongside these discoveries were never-before-seen 8mm home movies and unheard audio recordings of Elvis reflecting on his own life. These materials became the foundation for EPiC, offering an intimate look at the artist beyond the myth.
Restoring the King’s True Presence
The restoration process took years and involved collaboration with Oscar-nominated editor Jonathan Redmond and Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production team. According to Luhrmann, what emerged was more than just technically polished footage. He described seeing Elvis Presley not only as a commanding performer, but as a man completely comfortable on stage—deeply connected to his audience and expressing himself with rare warmth and humanity.
This announcement also carried emotional weight, as it coincided with the birthday Elvis would have celebrated had he lived beyond August 16, 1977, when he passed away at the age of 42.
Building on a Massive Cinematic Success
Luhrmann’s 2022 film Elvis was a global box office hit, earning over $288 million worldwide and ranking second on Billboard’s list of the highest-grossing music biopics of all time. EPiC: Elvis Presley Live in Concert continues that momentum, focusing entirely on the raw power of Elvis’ live performances.
Formats and What’s Next for Fans
In addition to its digital and CD release on February 20, the EPiC soundtrack will also be available as a 2-LP vinyl edition starting April 24—perfect for collectors and vinyl enthusiasts alike.
With its mix of restored concert audio, inventive remixes, and deeply personal moments, Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert Film Soundtrack to Showcase Live Performances, Remixes, and Classic Medleys promises to be more than just an album. It’s a front-row seat to Elvis Presley at his most alive—on stage, in the moment, and forever unforgettable.
