DIRECT FROM THE WORLD-FAMOUS CAVERN CLUB, LIVERPOOL

Beatles Complete present a night of Beatlemania packed with massive hits from the most influential band of all time.

Having now performed over 200 shows at the world-famous Cavern Club, this Liverpool-based ‘beat combo’ are the youngest-ever Beatles band to gain a residency at The Cavern Club, where they still perform on Thursdays and some Saturdays.

Aged between 18 and 22, Beatles Complete are the closest thing you will get to the unbridled joy of seeing the young Beatles when they first lit up the world. They can’t promise all the screaming and tears from the 60s, but they can give you a host of classic songs, brilliantly performed by a band who are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Beatle world.

Having performed at International Beatle Week for the last four years running, the lads have been invited to return again for 2025 and are continuing to take their extended show to theatres across the UK. The band has also appeared on BBC, as well as on TV in Japan and The Netherlands.

This show is not to be missed by all Beatles fans, performed by a band who are quickly making a name for themselves due to their musical prowess, boundless energy, and easy Liverpool wit.

The Beatles were a phenomenon in musical history – Beatles Complete remind you why.

“One of the most exciting Beatles tributes around.”Cavern Club, Liverpool
