A supergroup full of Australia’s most revered musicians is set to tour the country later this year, celebrating The Beatles’ Abbey Road by playing the record in full.
Back in September of 1969, The Beatles released their penultimate record, Abbey Road. An instant classic due to its groundbreaking and innovative sound, the album has since become one of the most recognisable and influential releases in modern music.
Fast-forward 50 years, and a group of Aussie artists will come together to pay loving tribute to the record by playing it in full at a series of concerts.
Dubbed ARC, this new supergroup features some of the most respected musicians in the Aussie music scene.
Consisting of Kram (Spiderbait), Mark Wilson (Jet), Davey Lane (You Am I) and Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), these self-confessed Beatles tragics are set to lovingly perform Abbey Road on the live stage in August.
Performing two sets, ARC will be kicking off these highly-anticipated shows by faithfully bringing The Beatles’ most audacious creation to life on stage, with Abbey Road being played from start to finish.
To top it all off, the group will also deliver a second set comprising of a selection of hits spanning the breadth of The Beatles’ career and catalogue.
