FRIARS AYLESBURY PRESS RELEASE

Aylesbury’s DUNG BEATLES will play their second Friars Aylesbury headline date at the Waterside Theatre on Friday 3 October 2025, when they celebrate the 60 th Anniversary of the albums ‘HELP!’ and ‘RUBBER SOUL’ by playing both albums in their entirety, as well as other Beatles classics. Tickets are on sale from ATGtickets.com/aylesbury (Online & by phone 03330096690), Ticketmaster and See Tickets. Also via the link on this website "SHOWS" page.
This will be an all-seated concert. Minimum age for seated tickets is 8. All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. The Dung Beatles are regarded as one of the best Beatles bands in the UK and indeed the world. Formed in Aylesbury in 2013 the band have created a big fanbase, having played extensively in the UK but also in France. The band played their first Friars gig at the Waterside in March 2018, playing a set as part of the Earthly Messenger Bowie Statue unveiling concert. A year later in the Friars Aylesbury 50th Anniversary year they headlined the Waterside playing the ‘Abbey Road’ album in its entirety. In 2022 Friars presented the band at two special sold out Ukraine benefit concerts in St Mary’s Church, Aylesbury which raised over £20,000 for the DEC Ukraine appeal. The Dung Beatles have also played the Beatles spiritual home, the iconic Cavern in Liverpool, on two occasions. This concert will be a one-off unique performance. Their joyous live performances, which feature superb harmonies and attention to musical detail (without any use of backing tracks or programming), are the hallmark of their success. The Beatles ‘Help!’ album was released in the UK on 6 August 1965 and their ‘Rubber Soul’ album was released just 4 months later on 3 December 1965. ‘Rubber Soul’, with hits such as ‘In My Life’, ‘Norwegian Wood’, ‘Drive My Car’, ‘Michelle’ and ‘Nowhere Man’ is regarded by many Beatles fans to be their finest album. The ‘Help’ album with hits such as ‘Ticket to Ride’, ‘You’ve Got to Hide Yourself Away’, ‘I’ve Just Seen a Face’, ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Help!’ was part of the soundtrack of the sixties not only in the UK but all around the world. It’s a testament to John, Paul, George and Ringo that they could write and record two such classic albums in just a few months. They were at the height of their creative powers which established them as the world’s most iconic band of the twentieth century. For more info contact Sue Stopps (sue@fmlmusic.com)
