Dublin Beatles festival

A one-day festival dedicated to one of the world’s best loved rock and roll bands, The Beatles, will take place at The Workman's Club on Saturday 3rd November.

Kicking off at 2pm, there will be a short play on When The Beatles Came To Dublin on that fateful day in 1963, as told through the perspective of Catherine Hansard – the mother of Once’s Glen Hansard. November 2018 will be the 55th anniversary of when the foursome visited Dublin for the first time, with the play taking us back in time.

At 3pm, there will be a Beatles table quiz, with a host of excellent questions and even better prizes, with more information on the quiz available from dublinbeatlesfestival@gmail.com.

To round out the day, there will be a gig from one of the world’s best Beatles tribute bands, Revolver. Visiting from Scotland, they’ll play two special sets on the day.

The first set will be at 8pm, and they will play the exact same list of songs played by the Beatles on their Dublin visit 55 years ago, followed by a second set at 9:45pm where they’ll play a host of other Beatles tracks. Tickets for the big gig cost €20 and are available now.
