Over the first 44 years of the Fest, we’ve been fortunate enough to be able to celebrate the Beatles with not just the fans, but hundreds of special guests. Among the guests who have graced the Fest stage in New York, Chicago, and elsewhere: Donovan, Harry Nilsson, Sid Bernstein, Peter & Gordon, Cynthia Lennon, Billy Preston, Pattie Boyd, Ronnie Spector, Mark Lewisohn, and so many more.
