On Wednesday it will be exactly 60 years since the Beatles gave their first concert outside the UK at Sundstagymnasiet Hall. A warm welcome to the celebration in the social area of ​​Sundsta-Älvkullegymnasiet.

On 25 October 1963, The Beatles played their first two concerts outside the UK, at the Sundstagymnasiet Hall of all places. At that time, only a few people knew how big it was, and tickets cost only a few ten kroner.
