The technology was previously used for one-off performances - rapper Tupac Shakur was excited at the Coachella Festival in 2012 and a similarity to Michael Jackson appeared during the 2014 Billboard Awards.
Instead of using old images at 'Roy Orbison In Dreams: The Hologram UK Tour', a combination of techniques will be used.
Orbison had 31 Top 40 hits in the UK, including three number-one. In his later years he was a member of the Traveling Wilburys supergroup with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Orbison died of a heart attack in 1988, 52 years old.
