The Beatles live in Rhyl, 1963

Programme for The Beatles' concerts

Last updated: 01 September 2009

Ritz Ballroom, Rhyl
Friday 19 and Saturday 20 July 1963

The Beatles played two consecutive nights at the ballroom on the Rhyl promenade in July 1963. The concerts - two on each day - all sold out some time in advance.

The concerts took place just a year after their inauspicious first Welsh show, also in Rhyl.

After the second show on the Saturday The Beatles drove straight back to Liverpool.
