As the end of a most difficult year for many approaches, but with light on the horizon, Cavern City Tours (owners of The Cavern Club) are hoping to spread some festive cheer with the announcement of their plans to bring people together for International Beatleweek festival in August 2021.
Renowned as the biggest Beatles festival in the world, the 2021 International Beatleweek focuses on celebrating Let It Be, The Beatles last album released in 1970 as the band broke-up and the solo albums of 1970 and 1971 including John Lennon’s most revered Imagine album and George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass which, couldn’t be more of an apt message of positivity at this time. Headline guests will include May Pang and Paul McCartney’s Wings band members Steve Holley and Laurence Juber.
In 2020, due to coronavirus, Cavern City Tours, like so many other festivals, were forced to ‘go virtual’ with their annual event which would normally have been a week-long extravaganza of worldclass artists and musicians from around the world playing live tributes to The Beatles to an audience of thousands in the City of Liverpool. 2021’s programme is optimistically announced with the message, taken from Beatles song titles which draws on hope for a brighter year ahead: ‘Come Together’ ‘Because’ ‘All Things Must Pass’.
Cavern Director Bill Heckle says:
“We all know how awful this year has been for so many, but the positive news of Coronavirus vaccinations that have begun in the U.K gives us hope and confidence that our annual Beatles festival will be able to return next year. It may well be that there are still some restrictions in place come August and we will work with whatever Government guidelines are set to make sure we can safely bring together our much missed Cavern family once again to share in the live music we are all passionate about.”
