The Bootleg Beatles in Concert

The Bootleg Beatles are playing the Royal Hall on Saturday 9 October 2027, starting at 7:30pm. They're billed as the world's premier Beatles tribute band, now in their 47th year, and they'll be backed by a live orchestra for the night.

Rather than a straightforward set, the show is a multi-media recreation of the band's rise, following seven of The Beatles' most famous live performances. It takes you from a tiny stage in a famous Liverpool cellar through to their London rooftop finale in January 1969, with re-enactments of the 1965 Shea Stadium concert and the satellite broadcast of 'All You Need Is Love' along the way. A front-of-house engineer replicates the original vocal effects, so the sound should sit close to the records. Critics have called the musicianship 'nothing short of stunning' and 'just incredible – you are in the room with The Beatles'.

The line-up features Paul Canning as John Lennon, Miles Frizzell as Paul McCartney, Stephen Hill as George Harrison, and Gordon Elsmore as Ringo Starr, with the orchestra filling out the sound. It's recommended for ages 14+, and under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets run from £37.50 to £91.00, with the top price for a box that seats two. The Royal Hall is on Ripon Road, Harrogate HG1 2SY, and the show starts at 7:30pm on Saturday 9 October.
