INDIANAPOLIS — The Beatles are undoubtably one of the most revolutionary bands in music — and the Indiana State Fair is dedicating a whole day to celebrating them!

The state fairgrounds will host a celebration on Tuesday, Sept. 3 in the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. This will commemorate when the iconic band played the fair 60 years ago. 

According to a news release, the event will feature a live listening session of the original audio from the 1964 performance, followed by a performance by the band "1964" performing The Beatles original set list. 

Aside from the music, the event will have Beatles themed everything! This includes an art installation, a photo and selfie station and merchandise. 

They will also have food and drinks available for purchase. Some of the drinks being offered are the "Hard Days Flight," "Strawberry Fried Green Salad," "Yellow Submarine Sandwich" and "Here Comes the Sun Punch Drink." 

General admission tickets are being sold for $5 each, which is the same price from the 1964 show, with $25 floor tickets also being sold. Event officials said the $5 general admission tickets are only available while supplies last.

All tickets are on sale now at the Indiana State Fair's website.
