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”.

Date, venue and tickets

The Tribute to Elvis performance take place on Saturday, July 11 at Opera Benalmadena at 10pm, perfect for a dinner followed by some signing and dancing. Tickets start from €15 and are available via the venue website.

Local Police in Benalmadena have warned football fans that late-night celebrations linked to matches played in the United States could land them fines of up to €1,500. Officers say complaints have piled up in recent days as fixtures finish in the small hours due to the time difference.

Officers call for respect during celebration

As World Cup fever grips the globe and with England V’s Mexico on Monday, July 6 at the unusual hour of 2am and Spain V’s Portugal following at 9pm, local police call for respect for those not up all night and into the early hours.

“Passion for football unites us. Respect for rest matters just as much.” That’s the message shared by Benalmadena’s Local Police on social media, urging supporters to celebrate responsibly. Officers described Benalmadena as an open, multicultural town where residents of many nationalities live side by side, congratulating fans enjoying their teams’ successes whilst reminding them that excitement shouldn’t come at the expense of others’ sleep.

Behind every window, officers noted, sits a baby, an elderly person, someone unwell, an early riser heading to work, or a child with additional sensitivities whose rest has been disrupted by night-time celebrations. Police called for greater awareness so that football joy doesn’t disturb neighbourly harmony.

What the rules actually say

Benalmadena’s Local Ordinance on Civic Coexistence requires noise to stay within limits of mutual respect, with levels needing to drop to a minimum between 10pm and 8am. Breaching this rule carries financial penalties reaching €750, with serious offences attracting fines ranging from €751 to €1,500.

Despite the warning, officers encouraged fans to keep enjoying football and their national teams’ triumphs, provided celebrations come paired with consideration for neighbours trying to rest.

Wider noise rules across the Spain

Noise complaints are not restricted or unique to football nights. Spanish cities are tightening the rules on terrace and neighbourhood noise more broadly, with some now trialling monitoring sensors to catch breaches.

Balancing fun and fairness

Nobody wants to dampen genuine sporting joy, and officers have been careful to frame their message as one of balance rather than restriction. Given how many households include shift workers, young children or vulnerable residents, a little moderation after full-time whistles could save Benalmadena’s fans a hefty fine.
