Get ready for a truly international Beatles tribute! Get Back – The Return of the Fab Four brings together four of International Beatleweek’s most beloved acts — returning to the festival for the first time in over a decade — for a performance that spans the globe.
Nube 9 (Argentina)
One of Latin America’s most respected Beatles tribute bands, Nube 9 was founded in 2001 and has built a reputation for passionately recreating The Beatles’ full discography — along with solo works — while avoiding mere imitation. They’ve performed around the world, including repeated appearances in Liverpool at Beatleweek.

After an unforgettable debut in 2025, International Beatleweek Festival is once again taking over the charming, quintessentially British village of Port Sunlight in 2026. Nestled on the Wirral peninsula, just across the Mersey, this historic model village becomes a living, breathing backdrop to the music that changed the world.
Port Sunlight holds a special place in Beatles history. It’s home to Hulme Hall—the very stage where Ringo Starr made his first appearance as a Beatle in August 1961. In 2026, we’re bringing that magic back to life.
This year’s P.S. I Love You event transforms Port Sunlight into a mini festival within a festival:
• An outdoor main stage filling the village air with Beatles and 60s classics
• Multiple indoor stages offering intimate performances and unique vibes
• Music echoing around the picturesque streets, gardens, and architecture all day long
• Local food vendors
It’s the perfect blend of heritage, atmosphere and live music—an experience that truly captures the spirit of International Beatleweek.
And to make it even easier to join the fun, IBW26 wristband holders will enjoy complimentary bus transport to and from Port Sunlight throughout the event.
Step into Beatles history. Soak up the sunshine (hopefully!). Celebrate the soundtrack of a generation. Port Sunlight is calling you back!

Audience reviews consistently praise the immersive sound, stunning visual production, and the emotional punch of hearing these complex songs performed live with the scale they deserve.
A production of this size demands an equally iconic stage, making Liverpool Philharmonic Hall the perfect home for Across The Universe at this year’s International Beatleweek Festival. Prepare for a spectacular, spine-tingling celebration of The Beatles’ most groundbreaking music.

1966 wasn’t just a good year for music—it was a remarkable one. The Beatles released their groundbreaking masterpiece Revolver, reshaping the sound of popular music forever. But the brilliance of ’66 didn’t stop there. The charts were bursting with creativity from every corner: The Beach Boys, The Kinks, The Byrds, The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, and countless others defining the sound of a decade.
Our Monday night show, 1966 – A Year in Music, dives headfirst into this incredible year—celebrating the songs, the artists, the innovations, and the cultural moment that made 1966 one of the most influential years in music history.
And there’s no better band to bring it to life than The Overtures.

Known for their immaculate harmonies, authentic instrumentation, and uncanny ability to recreate the era’s feel-good magic, they’ve earned praise from fans and famous admirers alike (including some very well-known names in music).
Expect a dazzling, fast-paced, hit-filled journey through one iconic year—performed with the precision, passion and joy that have made The Overtures a festival favourite for decades.
Dust off your dancing shoes… 1966 is calling.

Backed by a five-piece powerhouse band, Imagine Lennon takes audiences on an elegant, heartfelt and electrifying journey through the music that defined an era. From the early fire of “Please Please Me” and the anthems of the mid-60s, through ten years of solo masterpieces and the intimate beauty of Double Fantasy, Tyson brings John’s catalogue to life with authenticity, artistry and soul.
Expect iconic hits, raw emotional moments, and a curated selection of beloved B-side gems that Lennon fans hold close to their hearts.
A powerful finale. A stunning tribute. A night to imagine… and remember.
