01 — The gig
Live musicAbout the gig
The Bootleg Beatles plays The Anvil in Basingstoke on Thursday, 8 April 2027.
THE BOOTLEG BEATLES IN CONCERT 2025-2026. Following the triumph of their last concert celebrating the songs of the Beatles' iconic five films, The Bootleg Beatles return this year with their focus on another Famous Five. This time, it's The Beatles top five selling albums - the Dylan influenced Rubber Soul, the experimental Revolver, Sgt Pepper heralding the Summer of Love and psychedelia, The 'White Album' with its glorious eclectic mish mash of styles, and their grand finale, the musically sophisticated Abbey Road. Each LP as groundbreaking as its predecessor, each LP uniquely diverse, and each now brought to life on stage in one very special concert by The Bootleg Beatles and their merry band of gifted backing musicians. For Beatle enthusiasts of all ages, not to be missed on any account. "Less a tribute - more a reincarnation". The Telegraph "Mind-boggling accuracy." The Mail on Sunday "The magic of perfect Illusion." - Rolling Stone.
