Beatles Fest 2023

Event Information

Come and be part of King's Heath Walk of Fame's celebration of the days in 1963 when Beatlemania came to King’s Heath. 60 years ago on 15 February 1963, The Beatles made their Birmingham debut at King's Heath's tiny now burnt-down Ritz Ballroom next to the Hare and Hounds. They returned again to play a second hurriedly re-arranged gig on 5 July 1963. The next time they returned to Birmingham they would play the much larger venues of The Hippodrome and the Town Hall and the rest is history!

On Saturday 1 July doors will open at 7 pm for a special show by one of the finest tribute bands around The Let it Beatles.

On Sunday 2 July doors will open at 2.15 pm for a great afternoon’s entertainment showcasing local musicians who will perform their favourite Beatles songs in a special All You Need Is Love Session. Expect a range of musical styles including the acoustic sounds of Acoustica, the jazz soul of Blue Silk, the folk-rock of Mr Apollo, the sensational Abi Budgen and Dan Wilkins, the irrepressible Rob Peters & The Slapdash Cowboys, the legendary Eggmen plus talented vocalist Matilda Pratt who has sung before thousands at Twickenham & the incredible Jack Goodall & The Kick.

A strictly limited number of Weekend Tickets at just £12 will also be available from The Station or here When they are gone they are gone!

King’s Heath Walk Of Fame is a small charity that aims to celebrate King’s Heath’s amazing musical, cultural and sporting heritage through wall plaques, pavement stars and live events so as to encourage young people to become the stars of the future!
