The Beatlez – The Ultimate Beatles Tribute

The Beatlez have spent over 10 years building a professional, visually and sonically accurate Beatles experience, making them Australia’s most entertaining Beatles tribute band.  Our multi-costumed show generally moves chronologically from the Beatlemania rock’n’roll era to the psychedelic Sgt Peppers material, finishing with the classic ‘rooftop’ songs.

Re-live all the classics from the early Beatlemania days including: Please Please Me, A Hard Day’s Night,
Help, Nowhere Man, etc. Th e second half of our show sees the Beatlez embark upon a magical, fun-fi lled trip
back to the 1960s, wearing their bright and colourful Sergeant Pepper’s costumes. Sing along with hits like:
Let It Be, Hey Jude, Something, Octopus’s Garden, Sgt Pepper’s, etc

It’s the special care and attention to detail that goes into replicating the exact look and sound of the Fab Four and their live performances. From our impressive array of authentic guitars, amplifi ers and drums; the detail of our carefully chosen costume sets; to the layered harmonies of some of the most iconic Beatles ballads; we take credibility as Australia’s most authentic Beatles tribute very seriously. However, we do know how to have
a lot of fun.

If you like the Beatles, this is one show you must see!!
