What was life like in 1964? College students from across the US traveled to Mississippi to participate in Freedom Summer, the Ford Mustang debuted, Muhammad Ali became the world heavyweight champion... and The Beatles played at the Indiana State Fair.
In honor of the 60th anniversary of the two sold-out shows played on Sept. 3, 1964, the fairgrounds are celebrating all things Fab Four once more. The festivities on Tuesday, Sept. 3 include:
- The unveiling of an art installation
- A listening session of the original audio from the 1964 performance
- A live performance of the original setlist by cover band 1964 The Tribute
- An encore performance of The Beatles’ greatest hits
- Merchandise + themed food and beverage options, such as “Hard Day’s Flight” “and “Yellow Submarine Sandwich”
Tickets are still available for $5, the same price thousands of screaming fans originally paid to see the band — or you can get closer to the stage with floor tickets for $25.
