About Abbey Road On The River

Abbey Road on the River is the world's largest Beatles-inspired music festival. More than 20,000 music fans from "across the universe" have been regularly attending Abbey Road on the River since 2002. It's a celebration: five days of peace, love, and rock-n-roll on the riverfront.

What To Expect

Attendees will enjoy over 250 Beatles and 60’s themed concerts performed by 50 different bands from around the world. Attendees can also enjoy a Beatles-merchandise marketplace, on-site food and beverages, retail and craft vendors, interactive art, and a kid’s area.

Event Details

Abbey Road on the River will be held Thursday, September 2 - Monday, September 6th at the Big Four Station Park in Jeffersonville.

Lineup

Jefferson Starship, the band that descended from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees and 2016 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients Jefferson Airplane, will headline this year’s festival. Their performance will take the audience on a psychedelic rock adventure with their chart toppers like “Jane,” “Somebody To Love,” “Miracles,” “White Rabbit,” “Volunteers,” “Count On Me” and many more. The current Jefferson Starship lineup features founding member David Freiberg, along with Donny Baldwin, Jude Gold, Cathy Richardson, and Chris Smith. 

Grammy-winning manager, record producer, and SiriusXM Radio host Peter Asher of British pop duo "Peter and Gordon" will also perform at the event. Peter was close friends with The Beatles, particularly Paul McCartney who lived in Asher’s family home in London, and he wrote for Peter and Gordon their #1 hit, A World Without Love. As a producer, Asher was instrumental in the careers of stars like Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Diana Ross, and Cher. Asher’s performances will include a full band, as well as stories that hit on the high points of his extensive musical career.

Joining the all-star line-up are Grammy winner and former Wings lead guitarist Laurence Juber and drummer Steve Holley. Renowned Beatles tribute band The Fab Four, The Weeklings, Classicstone from Colombia, and Glen Burtnik of the Broadway hit show Beatlemania as well as The Orchestra (ELO) and Styx are also among the 45 bands scheduled to perform throughout the weekend.
