The Beatles Dub Club
Prepare for a festival set like no other — The Beatles Dub Club is where the music of the Fab Four meets full-on global groove. Curated by DJ Chris Arnold, along with a full live brass section, this special DJ experience takes Beatles classics and re-imagines them through a kaleidoscope of musical styles: reggae, ska, Latin, hip-hop, dub, funk, house, and even drum & bass.
Chris Arnold is a revered figure on the UK festival circuit, known for his tasteful selections and genre-bending sets. With The Beatles Dub Club, he dives deep into the world of Beatles sampling, cover versions, and remix culture — from shadowy dub versions of “Come Together” to funked-up takes on “Get Back”, and ska-rhythmed versions of “Help!”. Think of it as a Magical Mystery Tour across decades and continents, landing unexpectedly in beat-driven dance-floors.
The roots of the concept are rich. In 2009 the US reggae outfit Easy Star All‑Stars released Lonely Hearts Dub Band, a full-album reinterpretation of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles Dub Club builds on that lineage — but live, and with a live DJ vibe rather than an album cycle.
Whether you’re a lifelong Beatles fan or just someone who loves to dance, this set promises something fresh — the songs you know, transformed into the rhythms you’ll love.
Get ready to dance, sing, and discover your favourite Beatles tunes all over again.

Live, The Blue Moon are an unstoppable force. Expect horn-laced rock’n’roll, retro vibes, infectious hooks and an audience that dances from the first chord.
