EVENT
Summertime is the perfect season to have
outdoor, family-friendly events. at's exactly
what Gates Four is offering with their Summer
Concert Series. On June 26, the British Invaders
band will be performing at the Gates Four Golf &
Country Club Pavilion. e band will present a
Beatles Tribute to Beatlemania of the 1960s when
English bands stormed the U.S. music charts and
won over crowds of screaming fans. While dress-
ing in period Nehru suits and playing vintage
instruments, the British Invaders will entertain
the audience with a mixture of British hits from
the Beatles, Rolling Stones, e Who, e Kinks,
Dave Clark Five, e Animals, e Yardbirds, Rod
Stewart and Elton John.
e Beatles formed in the 1960s and when
they hit the scene in the United Kingdom, their
fan base exploded. e Beatles were dominating
the music scene in 1963, with women, men and
young people of all ages going crazy over them.
e term "Beatlemania" was coined by the press
to describe the scene at Beatles concerts, and
even during their travels. e Beatlemania was so
strong, that during their concerts people couldn't
even hear the music being performed, due to all
of the loud screaming fans. So, in 1966 the Beatles
decided it was best for them to remain a studio-
only group.
e Summer Concert Series will allow those in
attendance to step back into what is remembered
by many as one of the greatest musical eras. e
British Invaders have been known for their strik-
ing resemblance to the Beatles band which is one
of the many reasons they were selected to play
this year's Gates Four Summer concert series.
"Getting people out after 2020 and bringing the
music they want to listen to, and bring something
appealing to all ages, was the goal in putting to-
gether this line-up," said Greg Adair, coordinator
for Gates Four Summer Concert Series.
