Set to take place on June 25, the day will celebrate all things about the Fab Four, and see the band and Apple Corps Ltd – the company founded by The Beatles to manage their creative and business ventures – come together for some new announcements.
The date was chosen as it was on that day in 1967 when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr walked into Studio One at London’s Abbey Road Studios, and did the first international satellite television broadcast of their song, ‘All You Need Is Love’.
That now-iconic track was broadcast live as part of BBC’s Our World, and reached an estimated 400 million people around the globe.

More details about those events will be unveiled soon, and to mark the occasion, The Beatles will also release a colourised version of their aforementioned BBC Our World performance of ‘All You Need Is Love’ for free.
Available on YouTube from June 25, the release marks the first time the iconic performance has been made available online, and will give fans worldwide the chance to relive that moment from 1967 and share their reaction in the live chat.
Rare and Unseen Photos From the Beatles' Final Concert at Candlestick Park are online.
That momentous event marked the final time they played a proper concert following years of relentless road work that greatly limited the number of hours they could spend in recording studios. In the aftermath, they were able to camp out at Abbey Road and carefully craft masterpieces like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band without a clock ticking towards their next show.
Jim Marshall, one of the greatest photographers in rock history, was at Candlestick Park that night to capture the show from every possible angle. The new book The Beatles by Jim Marshall: Live at Candlestick Park 1966 features more than 150 of his shots and proof sheets from that night, and half have never been seen anywhere. Here's a look at 13 of the best ones.
