There are few more famous fellowships than the boys behind Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and audiences at everyone’s favourite local are getting ready to relive Beatlemania this June with The Beatnix.
The Airlie Beach Hotel will Twist and Shout when one of the world’s longest running tribute shows bring Abbey Road to Airlie Beach on June 4 and 5.
It’s been 35 years since The Beatnix first formed – ten years after the Beatles themselves broke apart – and they’ve long been regarded as the best Beatles tribute show in Australia.
It was in Perth in 1980 that Tony Dean created this incredible show.
The Beatnix have stacked their claim as a special brand of tribute band; there’s something in the way they move that adds the expert touch of authenticity.
With every Beatles favourite under their belt, they not only sound like the Liverpool lyricists, but they also look like them. Helped by their authentic musical instruments including an identical drum set to that played by Ringo Starr in the 1960s.
They’ve got the look: costumes and stage props, including the outfits from that very Sgt. Pepper’s album - it’s as close as you’ll see and hear to the real thing.
It’s not just a Day In The Life to see this remarkable show that rekindles the Fab Four and experience firsthand a Guitar Gently Weeping all while enjoying a delicious afternoon feed.
Seasoned performers, The Beatnix have performed internationally across Hong Kong, Malaysia, Bangkok and New Zealand.
Domestically, they’ve ticked off every type of show: large venues like the ARL Grand Final at the Stadium Australia in front of 100,000 people, to intimate 50-person back garden sessions.
Now in an exclusive throwback at The Pub, The Beatnix will perform two free afternoon shows on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 June from 2pm to 5.30pm.
Take The Long and Winding Road down the Airlie Beach Esplanade to your seat at The Pub and enjoy a revival of potentially the greatest band of all time.
