Studio Years Show is a Must See for Borders Beatles Fans

On 27 September 1967 The Beatles were taking a break from filming ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ and in the studio recording ‘I am the Walrus’ and ‘The Fool on the Hill.’ The band had long given up on touring, deciding instead to concentrate on recording and the period time that would become known as the “studio years.”

On 27 September this year, just under 60 years later, a spectacular live tribute to The Beatles’ most innovative years, featuring live band and orchestra is coming to Kelso Tait Hall.

‘Across the Universe – The Beatles ’66–’70’ celebrates the most revolutionary chapter of The Beatles’ career – their iconic studio years from 1966 to 1970 and is a must-see for Beatles fans of all ages.

From Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour to The White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be, Across the Universe brings to life the music that changed the world.

This is no ordinary tribute show, you won’t see costumes, wigs or impersonations as this show is all about the music, performed with stunning detail and accuracy by a superb live band and a full orchestra featuring world-class string and brass sections.

Across the Universe is a show built on musical authenticity. The show offers something truly remarkable: a chance to hear these legendary songs not just performed, but reimagined as they might have sounded if brought to life on stage. Songs you’ve known and loved for decades are suddenly refreshed and enriched — offering a powerful and often emotional glimpse into how these masterpieces were created.

The period from 1966 to 1970 represents a pivotal moment in the history of modern music. During these years, The Beatles pushed the boundaries of popular music further than ever before, with genre-defining songwriting, ground-breaking production, and timeless innovation. Many of the recordings from this era were never intended to be performed live, and remain among the most complex and creatively ambitious music ever made.

Now, in homage to this sensationally inventive period, Across the Universe brings these sonic landscapes to the Kelso Tait Hall for the very first time, to create an immersive concert experience.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering The Beatles for the first time, Across the Universe promises an unforgettable celebration of the Fab Four’s most daring and dazzling years.
