The New York Mets will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Beatles ‘ landmark performance at Shea Stadium on Beatles Night at Citi Field on Aug. 15. During the game against the Seattle Mariners, the team will honor the 1965 performance, which at the time was the first rock show at a major U.S. stadium, according to the Associated Press.
The old Shea Stadium — which opened a year before in 1964 — was home to the Mets and the New York Jets before being torn down in 2009 to make way for Citi Field. The landmark show by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr was chronicled in the 50-minute documentary The Beatles at Shea Stadium.

Next week’s celebration will kick off with a performance by 1964 The Tribute band in front of the Shea Bridge at 6:15 p.m. ET, with the first 15,000 fans entering Citi Field getting an exclusive mini Shea Stadium replica. In addition, there will be a fireworks display cued to the Beatles’ music after the game and the first pitch will be thrown out by members of the gameday staff who worked the Aug. 15, 1965 concert.

According to Setlist, the Beatles’ 12-song Shea Stadium set for 55,000 screaming fans opened with “Twist and Shout” and included performances of “She’s a Woman,” “I Feel Fine,” “Dizzy, Miss Lizzy,” “Ticket to Ride,” “Everybody’s Tryin’ to Be My Baby,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Baby’s in Black,” “Act Naturally,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Help!” and “I’m Down.”
