Completely unique, this full-length concert, based on Elvis Presley’s early 1970s concert recordings, is making a comeback after twenty years. The CC Rider Tour 2003, which comprised 18 performances in 2003-2004, attracted around 10,000 spectators to concert halls across Southern Finland. The performances were carried out under the name of the Kerava Theater, almost entirely by amateur enthusiasts.
Now, 20 years later, the CC Rider ’25 music performance is making its long-awaited return in February 2025. This full-length music concert will take its audience on a time travel journey to early 1970s Las Vegas, to Elvis Presley’s legendary concerts. The show will feature 28 songs, with every detail seen and heard on stage meticulously copied from Elvis’s actual concert 50 years ago.
On stage, you will see and hear Elvis’s TCB band, the male backing vocalists The Imperials, and of course, the female vocal group The Sweet Inspirations. A total of about 25 people will create this unique experience for the audience. Special attention is deserved by Jussi Andelin, who will perform as Elvis in the concert. Andelin sings entirely with his own voice, without imitating Elvis’s singing voice in any way. In 2003, Andelin received the Kerava City Cultural Award for this production.
The CC Rider ’25 musical performances will be organized with four concerts in February 2025:
1. and 2.2.2025 Kerava-sali, Kerava
8. and 9.2.2025 Peacock Theatre, Helsinki
