International Beatleweek Festival

The International Beatleweek Festival draws Beatles fans from all over the world. It’s pretty hardcore too – a full week of live music, a day trip, an all-nighter and the Annual Beatles Convention. 2025 sees Beatlemania descend once more from Wednesday 20 August to Tuesday 26 August.

Packages range from a few days to the Gold Anthology deluxe experience which covers the full week including all the gigs, the convention, Sunday at The Mathew Street Festival, the all-nighter, the party and free entry to the Cavern Club.

In general, the average age of festivalgoers is a bit higher than other events but if you can handle all-nighters and late-night parties as well as daytime conventions, outdoor festivals and day tripper events at Port Sunlight all in one mad week, you’re made of sterner stuff than us.

This year’s headliners include Billy J Kramer, The Quarrymen and of course the Bootleg Beatles. You can listen to music from Beatles tribute bands hailing from everywhere from Denmark and Finland to Australia and Japan.

There’s live music at The Cavern Club but The Adelphi is the spiritual home of the event with pretty much non-stop partying.

Some events are ticketed and some are only available as part of a package so check before you buy.
