In 2018, a group of superstars joined host Blake Shelton on NBC to pay tribute to Elvis Presley and his legendary 1968 TV special. A few years later, Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 movie Elvis chronicles just how that special came about, along with other aspects of Elvis’ story.

As the new movie sparks Elvis mania, we look at what the Elvis ’68 special tribute lineup looked like back in 2019.

The all-star group of music superstars performing included Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, Alessia Cara, Shawn Mendes, Adam Lambert, and Kelsea Ballerini. John Fogerty, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, Josh Groban, John Legend, Darius Rucker, Pistol Annies, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, and Mac Davis.
