See Surfers Paradise take a step back in time as we pay tribute to the world’s greatest music legends with ten days of free classic entertainment at Viva Surfers Paradise. There’ll be all your favourite Viva fun including stellar performances by the best tribute artists, rock ‘n’ roll dancing, classic cars, and of course the ever-popular Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition where we send the best Elvis artist to compete in Memphis, Tennessee!

Gracing the stage as 2016’s feature performers will be Viva favourite Chris Connor and new to Surfers Paradise, Dean Z!

From July 14–16 catch Dean Z live. Dean has dedicated his entire life to honouring the legacy of Elvis Aaron Presley. From his early days in Lancaster, California, to stages across the globe, he has repeatedly shown why he is one of the best in the business today. Dean became an accomplished musician during his youth and took off for Las Vegas, at 17. Dean has since been crowned the 2013 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Champion and has also received the 2014 Heart of The King Award. We can’t wait to see Dean here in paradise!

The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest will be held on Saturday July 16 and Sunday July 17. In operation since 2007, the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest continues to search for the best of the best, with the winner of the Surfers Paradise round sent to compete for the world title in Memphis. Could you be the next Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist?
