Beatles festival moves to Louisville As many as 20,000 Beatles fans are expected in Louisville during Memorial Day weekend for America's largest Beatles festival, which is making the city its new home. "Abbey Road on the River" has been held the past three years in Cleveland but will move to Kentucky on May 27 to 29. The weekend will include a Beatles film festival, lectures on the rock group and the sale of memorabilia. Neither of the surviving Beatles -- Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr -- is expected to attend. About half of the more than 40 bands expected to appear will dress like the Beatles and imitate their music, said Gary Jacob, the show's organizer. The others, he said, will do interpretations of Beatles music in styles that include classical, reggae and blues. He said he patterned the event after a Beatles festival held annually for the past two decades in Liverpool, England. For more information, visit www.abbeyroadontheriver.com or call (216) 378-1980. |
