The annual event remains Australia’s only festival dedicated exclusively to the music and legacy of The Beatles. The LadyBeatles, promoted as the world’s only all-female Beatles tribute act, will perform immediately before travelling to Liverpool for the annual Beatles Week celebrations. Co-founder Wade Jackson said the festival has deliberately expanded beyond Beatles tribute performances while remaining centred on music of the era. The event also maintains a strong connection with the local community, with Bathurst musicians performing throughout the weekend and the Reckless Brewery Community Stage showcasing emerging regional artists. Last year’s Beatlesfest Bathurst was a record weekend for Reckless Brewery, and we love that it brings people from around Australia to Bathurst.”
