Blue Angel and his award-winning Elvis tribute back in Benalmadena this July

Fans of the King of Rock and Roll will want to step out in their Blue Suede Shoes on Saturday, July 11, as Opera Benalmadena slicks it’s hair back to host a tribute honouring one of music’s most iconic legends.

The man behind the show

Malaga-born performer Angel David Castillo Ortiz, known professionally as Blue Angel, leads this production. His hard work and dedication to Presley’s catalogue has taken him beyond Spanish borders, with festival appearances in Finland and the UK.

Awards followed when in 2024, Castillo won the Porthcawl Elvis Festival in Wales on his first attempt, a competition known as the largest of its kind in the world. Television appearances on Canal Sur, Telecinco and La Sexta have since introduced his act to an even wider audience. A group of talented musicians called The Devils in Disguise back him on stage, delivering live music to accompany his familiar sound. The popular team already have gigs booked across venues in Almeria, Cordoba, Granada and Malaga through the rest of 2026

An evening of costumes and classics

Born in Tupelo in 1935, Presley rose to fame via Sun Records in 1954. A 1969 Las Vegas residency revived his live career. He died at Graceland in 1977, aged 42. The tribute show runs for 90 minutes and all songs are performed in English, the production traces Presley’s journey from his beginnings in Memphis through to his legendary Las Vegas residencies. Period-accurate costumes and lighting design recreate the atmosphere of his most famous performances. Recent performances by Blue Angel and his band have featured staples you would expect such as “Suspicious Minds”, “Hound Dog”, “Blue Suede Shoes” and “My Way”.
