Want to celebrate all things Fab Four?
In theory, you can (and should) do it every day, but fans now have an official date…
The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd, the British multimedia company founded by the group in the 1960s, announced the establishment of Global Beatles Day.
Celebrated on June 25, this day was chosen because on this day in 1967, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr entered Studio One at Abbey Road Studios, London, to provide the first satellite television broadcast, internationally, of their cult song “All You Need Is Love”. It was followed by some 400 million people around the world.
Since 2009, this date has served as an unofficial day of commemoration, at the initiative of Faith Cohen, a lifelong Beatles fan. But it now benefits from official recognition…
Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene wrote to Cohen praising the fan initiative that started it all.
“More than ever, the message of the Beatles and “All You Need Is Love†responds to something essential: the sense of community, of connection, and the power of bringing people together,†he explains. “That’s what makes Global Beatles Day so special. He asks nothing more of people, wherever they are, than to stop for a moment, listen and share a little joy. HAS”

In addition, Paul McCartney released his new album, « The Boys Of Dungeon Lane »last Friday.
The ex-Beatle has announced a special live event in London, at the Roundhouse in Camden Town, scheduled for next week (June 10).
“Audiences will get a rare, first-hand view of how “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane†came to be, and will be able to listen to the new tracks interspersed with Paul’s anecdotes,†says a press release.
In the review of the album by Euronews Culturewhere McCartney looks to the past and relives his pre-Beatles years, we wrote: ““The Boys Of Dungeon Lane†is a very heartwarming album. Whether it is because we consciously or unconsciously seek a form of reassurance in troubled times may be an explanation; but it is undeniable that the octogenarian has lost none of his sense of the unstoppable pop chorus, and that his sepia vulnerability touches the heart.
We added: “It may not be a career-ending masterpiece, but McCartney achieves what he set out to do: to fully embrace looking to the past, to once again take that long and winding road, and to savor the pleasure of memories. All without ever sinking into pathos.”
