Joe Johnson’s Beatle Brunch has discovered what more and more Beatle fans have discovered too: North Carolina & FabFest Charlotte! A music-centered festival happening Friday and Saturday October 4th and 5th. We’re Rolling-up for a FAB-ulous time with John, Paul, George and Ringo in our hearts and great music in our ears; FabFest Charlotte is a weekend celebration of Beatles music unlike anything previously staged in the Southeast. Experience two nights and one day of a fully-immersive Beatles journey: from live music to memorabilia, Beatles Yoga to Beatles Contests and a spot-on tribute to Sir Paul McCartney in “Live and Let Die” featuring Tony Kishman on Saturday night. You won’t want to miss this multi-generational experience.
The Tosco Music Beatles Tribute will open FabFest at The Knight Theater on Friday, Oct. 4 at 7:30 pm as John Tosco presents the 20th anniversary Tosco Music Beatles Tribute – “the ‘Beatles Party to end all Beatles Parties”. Tosco Music has been presenting this annual, sell-out community Beatles Tribute event since 2004. This popular Charlotte tradition brings together fans of all ages to enjoy a uniquely wonderful evening of local and regional acts performing Beatles songs in a variety of musical genres, with audience singalongs throughout the night.
The Fab Fun continues at FabFest Daytime on Saturday, at The Parr Center , Central Piedmont Community College. General admission tickets available with kids 5 and under admitted free. Ringo’s drummer Gregg Bissonette, returns as a special guest for FabFest 2024. Enjoy music from The WannaBeatles and The English Rain and more to be announced soon. There’s even a Beatles sing-a-long/play-along. Musicians of all ages can register for the Beatles Cover Song Contest until Sept. 12. with cash prizes awarded to the winners. We are also accepting applications for the Beatles Art Contest until Sept. 21, with cash prizes also awarded to the winners. No need to be present to win at art contest, so exciting opportunities for artists to not only showcase their talents, but also be compensated for their work. FabFest Daytime gives you a chance to meet Beatles experts and authors like Bruce Spizer, Gary Burr and Kit O’Toole,
who’ll give presentations and wow you with their Beatle brains at CPCC’s Parr Center. Take on fellow Beatles fans with Beatles games and trivia, Beatles Bingo, contests, a marketplace, memorabilia & door prizes! It’s a full day of live music, celebrity guest speakers & authors, a Beatles marketplace & more from 10am-5pm on Saturday. READ MORE DETAILS LIKE BAND TIMES AND SPECIAL GUESTS.
FabFest organizer John Tosco says it all, “Previously, fans would have to travel to Chicago or New York to enjoy a Beatles festival of this magnitude. Now the Southeast has its very own yearly weekend celebration of the fabulous music that rocked and changed the world.”
The influence of The Beatles and their music is truly international and intergenerational. FabFest is well on its way to becoming a destination event for Charlotte, where fans of all ages and cultures come together around the universal popularity of the music of The Beatles, “A splendid time is guaranteed for all.”
