The “It Was 50 Years Ago Today” tour will come to Morristown and Atlantic City.
It Was 50 Years Ago Today, the all-star Beatles tribute tour that came to four New Jersey venues on its 2022 tour, will be back this year, with a different lineup.
The 2022 tour — which stopped in Montclair, Red Bank, Atlantic City and Ocean City — featured Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Jason Scheff (formerly of Chicago), Joey Molland (of Badfinger) and Denny Laine (formerly of The Moody Blues and Wings). Laine died in December 2023, and Rundgren will not be participating in this year’s tour. Cross, Scheff and Molland will be joined by Glenn Shorrock (formerly of Little River Band) and Maxi Priest.
Tour stops will include The Music Box at Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City, Oct. 26; and The Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown, Oct. 27. Tickets will go on sale Aug. 30 at 10 a.m. for both shows, following various pre-sales. Visit ticketmaster.com for Atlantic City, mayoarts.org for Morristown.
The Beatles’ Rubber Soul and Revolver albums were the focus of the 2022 tour, though the musicians also performed some of their own material. The Beatles’ Let It Be and Hey Jude albums will be emphasized, on this tour.
