For the Reporter

Take a step back in time when RAIN: A Tribute to the Beatles, comes to the Washington State Fair on Monday, Sept. 10.

The tribute band celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles’ discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 14. Visit thefair.com and join the free E-Club for access to the best seats and ticket offers.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 17 at 10 a.m. Prices are $50, $40 and $30 and include fair gate admission.
