Festival After Dark: A 40th Anniversary Beatles Tribute celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the Fall Tempe Festival of the Arts and will be held Friday, December 5, 2008; from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Celebration Stage is located in the Arizona Wine Festival area of the Tempe Festival of the Arts, just west of Mill Avenue on 7th Street.
The Beatles tribute band “Apple” will perform a set chronology, from “Love Me Do” to “Let It Be.” Apple takes their audience on a grand roller coaster ride of classic Beatles hits. The four lads with “Mop Top” haircuts and thin black ties transform into “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (#1 album on the charts in 1968 when the Festival was founded), and close the show with a final stroll down “Abbey Road.”
The Cast Members of Apple have traveled the world recreating the Beatles “Live in Concert,” featuring precise note-for-note renditions of your favorite Beatles songs! You don’t want to miss this theatrical tribute to the greatest Rock N’Roll Band of all time… The Beatles! A splendid time Is guaranteed for all!
