EATONTON, Ga. — The Return is set to play Jan. 25, 2025.

The 2024 season at The Plaza Arts Center was packed with exciting entertainment and fun community events. The 2025 entertainment season will be no different.

This month, The Plaza presents The Return Beatles Tribute.

The Return is a renown tribute group that brings the Fab Four to life right in the Lake Country. The Return, one of the greatest Atlanta tribute bands is considered talented enough to perform in front of a national audience. The Return caught the eye of Good Morning America weatherman Tony Perkins and morning show executives.

Since then, this amazing group of four young musicians has excited crowds all over the country, growing substantially in popularity.

The band consists of four members: Michael Fulop as George Harrison, Shane Landers as Paul McCartney, Richard Stelling as John Lennon and Adam Thurston as Ringo Starr. And barring the introduction of actual time travel technology, they’re probably the closest anyone will get to seeing the fab four perform.

The voice of Ed Sullivan erupts from the sound system, instantly transporting viewers back in time as four mop-topped men take the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen…The Beatles!”

And there they are, the four lads from Liverpool, in the flesh, at The Plaza Arts Center. In Georgia, part of what makes a Return show so enthralling is the way in which they have meticulously recreated the complete Beatles image on stage. The boys feature authentic vintage instruments, haircuts and custom-made clothes and boots. Their unmistakable Liverpool accents and Beatles-esque antics truly bring out the charming, charismatic personas of the original four lads we all adore.

True to the original Fab Four, The Return derives its song list from a specific part of the Beatles catalog, primarily performing material that the Beatles played in live concert settings. This long and wonderful list of songs spans material from the early cover songs they played at Liverpool’s Cavern Club, to Lennon-McCartney numbers performed on the last Beatles tour of America in 1966.

The Return takes The Plaza stage Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at plazacenter.org or by calling The Plaza office at 706-923-1655.
