Launch Radio Networks has issued the following report from Lauren Moraski:
CHEAP TRICK will perform TTHE BEATLES' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in it's entirety at the Hollywood Bowl on August 10th and 11th.
The concert, which will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the landmark album, will feature appearances by AIMEE MANN, JOAN OSBORNE and THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL ORCHESTRA, among others.
According to NME.com, the artists are also expected to play tracks from other Beatles releases, including 'Magical Mystery Tour', 'Norwegian Wood', and 'Eleanor Rigby'.
Over the years, Cheap Trick has recorded several Beatles-related covers, including the band's 'Magical Mystery Tour' and JOHN LENNON's 'Cold Turkey', and reportedly based their live cover of FATS DOMINO's 'Ain't That A Shame' on their Live At Budokon album on Lennon's 1975 version.
In 1980, Cheap Trick's Rick Neilson and Bun E. Carlos recorded with John Lennon and Yoko Ono for their comeback album Double Fantasy. Although their tracks weren't released at the time, their version of 'I'm Losing You' eventually appeared on the 1998 box set The John Lennon Anthology.
Cheap Trick released the album Rockford last year.
