The rooftop where The Beatles staged their iconic final live performance is set to become the centerpiece of a new museum celebrating the legendary band’s legacy.
Scheduled to open next year, “The Beatles at 3 Savile Row” will transform the former London headquarters of Apple Corps Ltd into an immersive exhibition space dedicated to the group’s history and music. Fans will be able to explore the building where the band recorded parts of the album ‘Let It Be’ and relive one of the most memorable moments in rock history.
Formed in Liverpool in 1960, The Beatles went on to sell more than 600 million records worldwide, shaping modern popular music and influencing generations of artists across decades.
In January 1969, band members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr surprised Londoners with an unannounced rooftop concert at 3 Savile Row. The impromptu set — featuring songs including “Get Back” — became the band’s final public performance before police intervened over noise complaints.
“There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop,” McCartney said in a statement released on Monday.
The museum will also feature a recreation of the original recording studio used during the ‘Let It Be’ sessions, alongside rare materials from Apple Corps’ archives and interactive exhibits tracing the band’s London years.
