A museum will open in London at the site of The Beatles' final concert
Plans are underway in London to create an exhibition space dedicated to The Beatles in the building where they held their final concert. Visitors will be able to view memorabilia and previously unseen materials, which will be displayed across the exhibition’s seven floors.
This was announced by former band member and British musician Paul McCartney, according to the BBC.
The mansion at 3 Savile Row, a Grade II listed building, served as The Beatles’ headquarters from 1968 to 1972. The musicians recorded their final album, “Let It Be,” in the basement of this building.
McCartney said he wanted fans to have an official place in London dedicated to The Beatles.
The project, officially titled “The Beatles at 3 Savile Row,” is scheduled to launch in 2027. Starting today, fans can register to receive tickets on the band’s official website.
The building will feature a recreation of the basement studio where the “Let It Be” album was recorded, and fans will have the opportunity to experience The Beatles’ legendary rooftop concert in the very spot where the performance took place.
Other details about the museum have not yet been revealed, but McCartney explained how the facility will operate.
“You walk into the first floor, and there are memorabilia and things like that on display. Then you go up through the building and [see—ed.] various events that took place here and there, until you reach the top, where you step out onto the roof and imagine yourself as a ‘Beatle,’” McCartney said.
In addition, the building will also feature a shop selling licensed Beatles merchandise.
The band’s rooftop concert, which took place in January 1969, was the “Liverpool Four’s” final public performance. The musicians played for 42 minutes—the setlist included “Don’t Let Me Down,” “I’ve Got A Feeling,” and two versions of “Get Back”—until complaints from local residents forced the police to shut down the concert.
Recently, the video recording of the concert was restored for director Peter Jackson’s documentary “Get Back.” A blue commemorative plaque has been installed on the building at 3 Savile Row in memory of this concert.
After the band broke up in 1970, The Beatles continued to use the building as the headquarters for their company, Apple Corps. In 1976, the band sold the building, and it was later converted into a store for the fashion brand Abercrombie and Fitch.
According to McCartney, the idea to return to 3 Savile Row came from Tom Green, who took over as CEO of Apple Corps last year and previously worked on the Harry Potter franchise.
