Tickets go on sale this week for an exhibition of more than 300 artifacts associated with Elvis Presley in what organisers say is the largest retrospective of the late rock and roll icon ever mounted in Europe.

Elvis Presley Enterprises says ‘Elvis at The O2: The Exhibition of His Life’ is scheduled to open on December 12 in London. Tickets go on sale on November 7, with pre-sale tickets available starting November 5.

Scheduled to run through August 31, 2015, the exhibition will chronicle Presley’s rise as the ‘King of Rock n’ Roll’ and his impact on popular culture.

Artifacts come from the Presley family’s Graceland Archives. Some items have never been exhibited outside of Presley’s home-turned museum in Memphis.

Items on display will include automobiles, historical documents, stage costumes, guitars and photos.
