Dublin Airport has shared a nostalgic throwback to The Beatles' only Irish gig that ended in chaos.
Exactly 59 years ago today, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr landed in Dublin to play two shows at a venue in Dublin city centre. The Fab Four took to The Adelphi Cinema on Middle Abbey Street for what would be their first and only gig in the Republic of Ireland.
Thousands of fans descended upon the city centre on November 7, 1963, to catch a glimpse of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. However, what was meant to be an enjoyable time turned into a riot that left people hurt, windows broken, and cars vandalised.
