New ‘1966’ artwork to launch 2026 Festival

We’re thrilled to announce that International Beatles Artist Shannon has once again been commissioned to create the official artwork for the 2026 International Beatleweek Festival—and this year, she’s turned to one of the most iconic creative periods in Beatles history for inspiration. For 2026, Shannon looks back to 1966, capturing the energy, colour and off-beat creativity of the Paperback Writer and Rain promotional films. Her brand-new artwork puts a contemporary spin on the 60th anniversary of that groundbreaking year, weaving together bold visual motifs and the psychedelic edge that defined The Beatles’ mid-60s evolution. The result is a vibrant, modern tribute that sets the tone for an unforgettable festival ahead.
