First broadcast by the BBC in 1967, The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour’ was a product of its era while also being years ahead of its time. The film anticipated techniques that were to become industry standards , such as ad lib film scripts, mocumentaries and surreal Television comedy.
 
The evening will feature surround visuals, film, performance art and three floors of music exploring the ongoing influence of 1967, the year that changed music for ever.
 
The acts include producers and DJs who have involved psychedelia in everything from  soul and techno to baggy rock and reggae, including original acid house DJs, new cosmic disco DJs and up and coming talent emerging on the UK’s new folk scene.
 
With more acts to be announced over the coming days, the line up will see one of Manchester’s original acid DJs and creator of the ‘Art of Acid’ compilation, Justin Robertson, play an artful acid house set, Electronic music pioneers Si Begg and Fred Deakin play specially created music and visual sets., Ashley Beedle, spin a psychedelic funk set, Leftside Wobble and, Noise of Art founder, Ben Osborne laying down the cosmic dancefloor fillers, Fiona Bevan and Laura J Martin, two of the UKs fast rising female singer songwriters, forming the folk connection – and there's more to come.
 
They join Noise of Art regulars, The People Pile, Overlap, Your Mum, Prick Image and more to be announced, who’ll complete the immersive cinema and club experience.
 
This is the last screening in a week of events celebrating Magical Mystery Tour in the run-up to its release on Blue Ray and DVD. It follows a gala event at the BFI Southbank on Oct 2nd, where Noise of Art will create the after show for an invited audience.
