The Bootleg Beatles are a British tribute band founded in 1980 by former cast members of the West End musical Beatlemania. Renowned for their meticulous recreation of The Beatles' live shows - spanning the early Cavern era through to the psychedelic years - they replicate the original costumes, instruments and vocal arrangements with striking accuracy. After more than 4,000 performances across four decades, they are widely regarded as the world's leading Beatles tribute act, having played Glastonbury, Wembley Stadium and the Royal Albert Hall.
