A world-renowned Beatles tribute band performs their signature covers of the Fab Four's greatest hits at the Kings Theatre.
The Bootleg Beatles are playing the Kings Theatre on Friday 2 October, with doors opening at 19:00. It's a tribute to The Beatles, and this one focuses on a specific set of records rather than a general best-of.
Their last show celebrated the songs from the Beatles' five films, but this one turns to another 'Famous Five': the band's five best-selling albums, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road. Those five cover the bulk of the band's middle and late periods, and they're brought to life with a band of backing musicians. It's a broad stretch of the catalogue to pull from in one night.
The Bootleg Beatles themselves formed in London in 1980 from cast members of the show Beatlemania, and they're billed as the world's premier Beatles tribute band, known for recreating the Fab Four's songs, look and stage presence across more than 4,000 shows. They were the first Western rock band to tour the Soviet Union and played at Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. Critics have described the act as 'less a tribute - more a reincarnation' (The Telegraph), noted its 'mind-boggling accuracy' (The Mail on Sunday) and 'the magic of perfect illusion' (Rolling Stone).
