Convo Center welcomes Beatles tribute Oct. 24

August 5, 2013

RAINDirect from a phenomenally successful Broadway engagement, the internationally acclaimed Beatles concert, RAIN: A Tribute to the Beatles, will make its NIU Convocation Center debut at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24.

As “the next best thing to seeing the Beatles!” (Associated Press), RAIN performs the full range of the Beatles’ discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that the Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.

In addition, new songs are being included with the launch of the 2013-14 tour.

Together longer than the Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting.

From the early hits to later classics (“I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” “Hey Jude” and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love and a little help from your friends.

Like the Beatles, the onstage members of RAIN are not only supreme musicians, but electrifying performers in their own right.

Tickets for RAIN: A Tribute to the Beatles go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 8. Tickets range from $35 to $55 for reserved seating and are available for purchase at the Convocation Center box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000.
