Technically, you can (and should) do that every day, but now fans have an official date… <\/p>\n

The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd, the British multimedia company established by the band in the 1960s, have announced official Global Beatles Day.<\/p>\n

Set to be celebrated on 25 June, the date was chosen because on that day in 1967, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr walked into Studio One at London\u2019s Abbey Road Studios and performed the first international satellite television broadcast of their beloved song \u2018All You Need Is Love\u2019. It reached an estimated 400 million people around the globe.<\/p>\n

The date has been the unofficial commemoration day since 2009 and was the idea of lifelong Beatles fan Faith Cohen. But now, there\u2019s formal acknowledgement… <\/p>\n

Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene wrote to Cohen, praising the fan-led initiative that started it all. <\/p>\n

\u201cMore than ever, the message of The Beatles, and of \u2018All You Need Is Love\u2019 speaks to something vital for community, connection, and the power of bringing people together,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThat is what makes Global Beatles Day so special. It asks nothing more than for people, wherever they are, to stop, listen, and share a little joy.\u201d <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s inaugural Global Beatles Day will feature online and in-person events around the world. <\/p>\n

Details are forthcoming, but we do know that a colourised version of the band\u2019s aforementioned BBC Our World performance of \u2018All You Need Is Love\u2019 will be released for free on YouTube on 25 June. This will mark the first time the iconic performance will be made available online. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Paul McCartney released his new album, \u2018The Boys Of Dungeon Lane\u2019<\/a>, last Friday. <\/p>\n

The former Beatle announced a special live event in London, at the Roundhouse in Camden Town, set to take place next week (10 June). <\/p>\n

\u201cThe audience will gain a rare, first-hand perspective on how \u2018The Boys Of Dungeon Lane\u2019 came to life, and hear the new music played amongst Paul\u2019s stories,\u201d a press release notes. <\/p>\n

In Euronews Culture\u2019s review of the album<\/a>, which sees McCartney look to the past and re-live his pre-Beatles days, we wrote: \u201c\u2018The Boys Of Dungeon Lane\u2019 is a very comforting listen. Whether that\u2019s because we consciously or unconsciously yearn for reassurance in troubled times could be one explanation; but it can\u2019t be denied that the octogenarian has not lost his knack for a stellar pop hook, and his sepia-tinted vulnerability is poignant.\u201d <\/p>\n

We added: \u201cIt may not be a late-period masterpiece, but McCartney achieves what he sets out to do: unabashedly embrace the past, take a trip down its long and winding road, and delight in remembrance. All without toppling into maudlin territory.\u201d <\/p>\n
