The Kyrgyz band The Rolls is set to perform at the prestigious The Beatles Week festival in Liverpool, United Kingdom. The event, scheduled from August 26 to September 1, will bring together more than 70 musical groups from across the globe.

The Rolls will perform on various stages in Liverpool, including the iconic The Cavern Club, where The Beatles themselves played 292 times between 1961 and 1963. The band, inspired by The Beatles' music, was founded in Bishkek in 2010. Over the years, they have become a unique musical project in Central Asia, specializing in the British and American music of the 1960s and 70s.

This marks The Rolls' second appearance at the Beatleweek festival in Liverpool, making them the first band from Kyrgyzstan to participate. Their initial invitation followed a 12-year wait after submitting their application. Following their debut two years ago, the band returns to Liverpool with a refreshed program and a revitalized lineup, featuring both popular hits and new compositions.
