Hard Day’s Night, Southern California's #1 Beatles tribute show, thrills audiences with tight harmonies and flawless note-for-note instrumental renditions of Beatles hits. Hard Day’s Night has honed their show to become one of the most musically and visually satisfying Beatles tribute acts in the world. Hard Day’s Night is based in Los Angeles and performs throughout North America, Europe, and Japan. Their custom-tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect, and precise attention to every detail recreate the magic, music, wit, and wisdom of the total Beatles phenomenon. On stage, the four permanent members capture the unique personality, physicality, and charm of the Beatle they each portray, including the Fab Four’s familiar head bobs, toe taps, and patter between songs. Three costume changes cover the full range of the Beatles experience and beyond, with authentic early black suits, Sgt. Peppers’ regalia, and Abbey Road attire, with all scenes set with a video backdrop. Hear the horn section on Penny Lane and the full orchestration of A Day in the Life.
