To open the season, Downtown Live is hosting 1964: The Tribute, hailed by Rolling Stone as “The Best Beatles Tribute on Earth.” Since the early eighties, 1964 has been thrilling audiences around the globe by taking them on a journey through a quintessential moment in music history that will live forever.

Over twenty years of researching and performing have made 1964 masters of their craft, recreating an early ‘60s live Beatle concert with period instruments, clothing, hairstyles, and onstage banter with an accuracy that is unmatched.

Arianna Therriault, Arts and Culture Supervisor for the City of Bristol, noted, “This season opener is a fantastic moment for the city. Ticket sales have been strong for each performance of the fall, and you can truly feel the energy and momentum building at the Rockwell Theater. I’m excited to welcome our patrons back to Downtown Live for what promises to be an unforgettable season!”
