The event commemorates 49 years since the Genius of Liverpool arrived in London from a US tour that marked their beginning as music super stars.
The concert is supported by the British Embassy and other partners as part of the global campaign “Music is Great”, and will consist of almost 10 hours of live music with remarkable national bands playing music from the Beatles.
To mark the event, British Ambassador to Guatemala, Sarah Dickson, said: “Some of the greatest music in the world comes from Britain, and British music is still topping the charts today. I’m glad that Guatemala is joining this tradition to commemorate the date when the Fab Four laid the foundations for their stardom”.
