Celebrating 50 years of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band with art

Liverpool is hosting the 50th year of the popular Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album, from perhaps the best band in the world, The Beatles. The album in its singularity has a cult following even after so many decades since its release.

The fans will celebrate for almost an entire month, thanks to Sean Doran and Liam Browne, who curated a full programme that will unfold across various locations in Liverpool. It will feature 13 commissioned artworks, to symbolize 13 tracks from the album.

Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.

The artists include Frank Cottrell Boyce, Mark Morris Dance Group, DJ Spooky, Judy Chicago, Meow Meow, Jeremy Deller, and Christophe Berthonneau + Groupe F. They will work closely with different organizations such as Tate, Metal, Milapfest, Hurricane Films and 20 Stories High. Funding is made possible by the National Lottery.

The curators tell us that “these 13 commissions invite artists not only to respond to the genius of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album but also crucially to collaborate and take inspiration from the city of Liverpool as a world stage with an unrivaled creative community. We were delighted to receive Sir Paul McCartney’s blessing for our thinking and style of approach to Sgt. Pepper at 50 and honoured to have been asked to work with the city in this way.”
