Global Beatles Day will be celebrated on June 25th

The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd have joined forces to officially recognize Global Beatles Day, which will be celebrated later this month.

The event will take place on June 25th and will be dedicated to all things Fab Four. The band and Apple Corps Ltd - the company founded by the Beatles to manage their creative and business ventures - will present several new announcements, writes NME magazine.

The date was chosen because it was on June 25, 1967 that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr entered Studio One at London's Abbey Road Studios and performed the first international satellite television broadcast of the song "All You Need Is Love."

This now iconic song was broadcast live on the BBC's "Our World" program and reached an estimated 400 million people worldwide.

The idea to mark this date came from longtime fan Faith Cohen, who suggested it in 2009. Since then, fans have informally celebrated the day through various events.

Celebrations included sing-alongs in Buenos Aires, fan gatherings in Liverpool, tribute concerts in Tokyo, and Beatles exhibitions in New York.

Now the Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd have officially recognised this date and will launch online and live events around the world to celebrate the band on 25 June 2026.

More details about these events will be announced soon, and to mark the day, the Beatles will release a free colorized version of their legendary performance of "All You Need Is Love" from the BBC show "Our World."

The recording will be available on YouTube from June 25. This is the first time that the iconic performance will be available online, giving fans around the world the opportunity to relive the 1967 moment and share their reactions via live chat.
