BEATLEMANIA 'RETURNS' TO TIFTON ON SATURDAY
For one night only -- this Saturday night -- "The Beatles" will return to the stage in Tifton.
Well, actually it's "The Return," one of the world's top Beatles tribute bands, who will take the stage Saturday night, Sept. 27, at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center -- and it's the next best thing.
Hosted by the Tifton-Tift County Public Library Foundation, the gala evening highlights the 50th anniversary of The Beatles first coming to America. While it's too late now to purchase dinner tickets, you can still buy show-only tickets for $35 each. Proceeds support the public library in Downtown Tifton.

For those who already have dinner tickets, the dinner begins at 7 p.m. and The Return takes the stage at 8 p.m. They will do two sets: The Beatles early years circa the Ed Sullivan Show, and the Sgt. Pepper years and beyond. The tribute band has performed all over the world, including at Abbey Road studios in London, the Cavern Club in Liverpool, and at venues large and small.
"They are outstanding! Absolutely the best thing next to the originals," says Pete Beaudrault, president and CEO of the Hard Rock Cafe.
