The tribute band celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles’ discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.
