Celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Beatles at the Indiana State Fair

The band performed two sold-out shows on Sept. 3, 1964. Now, the fairgrounds are bringing the magic back with a tribute band, an art installation, and more.  The Beatles toured the United States and Canada between August 19 and September 20, 1964.

What was life like in 1964? College students from across the US traveled to Mississippi to participate in Freedom Summer, the Ford Mustang debuted, Muhammad Ali became the world heavyweight champion... and The Beatles played at the Indiana State Fair.

In honor of the 60th anniversary of the two sold-out shows played on Sept. 3, 1964, the fairgrounds are celebrating all things Fab Four once more. The festivities on Tuesday, Sept. 3 include:

The unveiling of an art installation
A listening session of the original audio from the 1964 performance
A live performance of the original setlist by cover band 1964 The Tribute
An encore performance of The Beatles’ greatest hits
Merchandise + themed food and beverage options, such as “Hard Day’s Flight” “and “Yellow Submarine Sandwich”

Tickets are still available for $5, the same price thousands of screaming fans originally paid to see the band — or you can get closer to the stage with floor tickets for $25.
