This once-in-a-lifetime event will be sure to bring all Beatles fans, young and old, together to enjoy the music and the memories of Liverpool’s most famous sons.

The evening will start off at 5:00 with a special VIP reception at the WYES Studios, which will include a meet-and-greet with the Fab Four.

After light food and cocktails, VIP patrons will be bused the short distance to Tad Gormley Stadium, where they will have exclusive, up-close seating on the stadium track in front of the stage.

General admission concert goers will sit in the stadium seats. At 7:00, the Fab Four will hit the stage for 90 minutes of memories spanning the remarkable career of the Beatles, from the Ed Sullivan show to Sgt. Pepper and beyond.

General admission tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. VIP passes are $150 each.
