2. HAMBURG - BEATLEMANIA At long last, Hamburg has its very own meeting point for all Beatles fans, right next to the Beatles Square. Not only is the exhibition a "hit" in itself, but so are the "special events". Klaus Voormann has set the pace with his documentation to "A Sideman’s Journey": The Star Lounge on the third floor is not only the perfect location for parties, but it is also a great cinema. Therefore, in 2010, the exhibition center is going to offer its clients movie presentations on a regular basis. Beatlemania, having been able to successfully demonstrate its suitability as a unique concert location through the appearances of Australian trio "The Living End" and Icelandic singer/songerwriter Helgi Jonsson in the autumn of 2009, will continue to present live music and autograph sessions. But there will also be literary features, a series offically kicked off on 27 March by a presentation of the book of "Yeahsterday". In order not to let this much aural and visual diversity get in the way of your culinary needs, starting in February the YEAH!-Café will add an opulent Sunday brunch to its current menu . Thus, you will be able to recharge your batteries before or or after your exhibition visit, or even without visiting the exhibition - as both the YEAH!-Café and the shop are accessible without an exhibition ticket. By the way, "FAB FOUR" is the code word for a special offer: groups of 4 visiting the exhibition until 1 March 2010 will receive a 40% discount at the box office provided they enter "FAB FOUR" while booking online or state this code at the ticket counter! www.beatlemania-hamburg.com

5. BERLIN – ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
On the occasion of the Beatles' 50th anniversary, Estrel Hotel in Berlin is going to present the Beatles musical of "All You Need Is Love!" from 30 June thru 22 August. In the course of a moving musical biography all the significant steps of the most successful band of all time on their way to world fame are being recalled: from their first appearances in the Hamburg clubs until their final concert played together on the rooftop of a London office building. With songs such as "Help", "Love me do", "Yesterday" or "Hey Jude" the American band "Twist & Shout" reenacts the legendary Mop Tops on stage in a musically as well as optically surprisingly authentic manner which rekindles the exact atmosphere with which the Beatles in the past had mesmerized the masses. 30 June – 22 August 2010 Estrel Festival Center, Wednesday to Saturday 20.30 Uhr / Sunday 19.00 Uhr Ticket-Hotline: 030 / 6831-6831
