Aurora Live Music Hall To Celebrate 4 Years With Beatles Tribute

AURORA, IL — The Venue will celebrate its four-year anniversary with a Beatles tribute show June 2.

The downtown Aurora music hall, located at 21 S. Broadway, will host the outdoor concert from 7-11 p.m. in adjacent Mundy Park. Event-goers can expect two headlining acts, artisan and food vendors and some surprises, organizers said.

Melissa Mercado, the executive director of Fox Valley Music Foundation, the nonprofit behind the concert space, said celebrating The Venue's fourth birthday is "especially meaningful" since it survived the pandemic.

"It's a salute to our wonderful patrons and the dedicated volunteers who have kept us afloat through thick and thin over the last four years," Mercado said in a statement.

Phil Angotti and Friends, described as one of Chicago's leading Beatle experts, will kick off the show with a performance of "A Hard Days Night," the band's third studio album, in its entirety. The Venue's own Album Covers crew will follow Angotti's portion of the evening with the "The Get Back Sessions," during which they'll sing more Beatles hits.

For the show, patrons have the option to bring their own food or can purchase bites from Tamales+, Galvan's Food Truck and La Michoacana Sweet Bliss, all scheduled to be in attendance. The artisan lineup includes Parlilian Treasures, Hemp Club Jewelry + Boho Earth Headbands, Kathie Collinson and Kiss the Sky.

Tickets to the show, dubbed "Fab Four Birthday Bash," cost $35 for general admission and $50 for reserved seats. Admission can be purchased via Eventbrite.
