This is what The Bootleg Beatles shared with the press at the meeting to announce their tour in Vietnam on the evening of October 29 in Ho Chi Minh City.

The Bootleg Beatles recreates, honoring The Beatles' music

The Bootleg Beatles' representative said the band did not exploit the legendary band's name to make money.

The band is trying to recreate the music and performance style of The Beatles to maintain the performance style, helping The Beatles' music live forever in the hearts of music lovers.

Audiences believe that The Bootleg Beatles is the closest version of The Beatles. The band has been contributing to recreating and honoring the music of the legendary band loved by generations 6X, 7X, 8X.

The Bootleg Beatles representative answered Tuoi Tre Online 's question: "We are very excited to set foot in Vietnam to bring the musical legacy of the legendary band The Beatles to audiences in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi .

We spent a day learning about Vietnamese culture, history and cuisine ".

At each concert, The Bootleg Beatles will perform 25 to 30 famous songs by The Beatles from 1962 - 1970. The song list will also be different for each concert.

"The Beatles have over 200 songs, we can't perform them all but we will bring surprise performances" - The Bootleg Beatles shared.

Because this tour was a bit rushed, the band hasn't prepared any Vietnamese songs yet, but next time the band comes to Vietnam, they will definitely have Vietnamese songs.

Taking the risk of inviting The Bootleg Beatles to Vietnam

This is the first time The Bootleg Beatles have performed in Vietnam.

A representative of the organizing committee shared with Tuoi Tre Online : "It would be difficult for us to invite The Bootleg Beatles if the band did not have a tour in Asia.

The challenge for the organizers was that fans didn't know much about The Bootleg Beatles.

But we took the risk to give Beatles fans the chance to hear the legendary band live."

The organizers expect a total of 2,000 audience members for the concerts in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

Before coming to Vietnam, The Bootleg Beatles performed in the Philippines. According to the plan, after the concert in Hanoi, the band will perform in European countries.

During the meeting, a U80 audience member who said he was a "die-hard fan" of The Beatles suddenly appeared. He had an impressive interaction and performance with The Bootleg Beatles.

The Bootleg Beatles' concert is scheduled to take place at Lalaland Turtle Lake (HCMC) on October 31 and at the Vietnam - Soviet Union Friendship Cultural Palace (Hanoi) on November 2.
