Beatlemania is about to make a very welcome
comeback in Leicester, as The George Harrison
Project brings its hugely popular show to The Little Theatre on Saturday 4 July, 2026 — guitars
tuned and harmonies polished.

George Harrison wasn’t just “the quiet one” — he was the musical powerhouse behind some of the
most loved songs in history. As part of The Beatles, he helped shift more than 600 million records
worldwide.
After the Fab Four hung up their matching suits, Harrison went on to form The Traveling
Wilburys, the only supergroup in history where every member could legitimately be called a legend.
He also released a string of solo albums, including the iconic All Things Must Pass, proving he didn’t
need three other Beatles to make magic.
Now, The George Harrison Project brings his extraordinary catalogue back to life with a show that’s
equal parts nostalgia, musicianship, and pure joy. These performers don’t just play the songs —
they inhabit them, delivering the warmth, wit, and spiritual sparkle that made Harrison so beloved.
Expect a night packed with classics like Here Comes The Sun, My Sweet Lord, While My Guitar
Gently Weeps, Something, What Is Life, Handle With Care, End Of The Line, and plenty more. If
you’re not humming by the interval, check your pulse.
This isn’t just a concert — it’s a feel‑good journey through the soundtrack of a generation.
Audiences laugh, cry, sing along, and occasionally attempt to hit the high notes (results may vary).
One thing’s guaranteed: you’ll leave with a full heart and at least one Beatles lyric stuck in your
head for the next week.
Performed with passion, precision, and a genuine love for Harrison’s music, this show celebrates a
legacy that continues to inspire, uplift, and occasionally make grown adults misty‑eyed.
Tickets for the July 4 performance at The Little Theatre, starting at 7:30pm, can be booked via
