International Beatleweek – Early Days at The Locarno
International Beatleweek is a 7 day music festival dedicated to The Beatles and brought to you by The Cavern Club. 70 bands from over 20 countries and fans from all around the world can be found in Liverpool for the festival and information on this year’s bands can be found on our website www.internationalbeatleweek.com. Please note that bands are still being added so check back regularly to find out more.
Every year on Saturday during International Beatleweek we like to have a day out and this year is no exception as we head to The Olympia (formerly the Locarno Ballroom). The Beatles played here on Valentine’s Day in 1963, just as “Beatlemania” was sweeping the nation. This ornate venue will take your breath away and transport you right back to 1963 when we celebrate “Early Days at The Locarno”.
