This map aims to plot locations where incidents in The Beatles' career took place. The majority correspond to entries in the day-by-day diary of events; each diary page, where relevant, also features a map to provide further context to the story.
Entries have been categorized according to the legend below. These categories can be turned on or off to isolate certain types of entry, eg live concerts or television appearances. Certain events fall into more than one category; when this is the case, a white marker with a rainbow inside appears on the map.
Some buildings and other locations no longer exist due to the passage of time since events took place. Where possible we have attempted to pinpoint the location of these places, but welcome any feedback to help improve the map. Please note also that work on this site is ongoing, and new entries are being added each week.
How about their 1965 live performance in Portland, Oregon at The Memorial Coliseum?
Thanks!!
Hi Morgan. I'll be adding all The Beatles' US and international tours in due course. Bear with me - it's just a matter of getting round to it!

How about Gibraltar, near Spain.
March 20, 1969:
Beatle John Lennon marries Yoko Ono in Gibraltar
Gibraltar, near Spain, now added! I'm not entirely sure of the building where they married, though, so any definitive info would be welcome. The article and map point can be found here.
A few online sources say John and Yoko were married at the British Consulate which is the Governor's House at The Convent, Main Street, Gibraltar, 350 45440. This Google Map shows this building is across the street from where your map pin is: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=british%20consulate%20gibraltar%20address&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl
Unless we're seeing different results, there's only one Gibralter pin given on that link, and it's quite a bit further north (Casemates Square) from where my article has it located. Precise co-ordinates for The Convent would be welcome if anyone has them.
Hi,
How about Blokker (near Hoorn - Netherlands) a small village where the Beatles (minus Ringo - subst. Jimmy Nichol) played 2 live sets on June 6. 1964)
Here's the article. All other known Beatles tour dates will be added over time, but please don't request them - I'll add them when I can.
Hi Joe. July 4-6, 1966 were the only dates the Beatles visited the Philippines, with the infamous Imelda Marcos incident. Thanks, and welcome to the BGC.
Why is Japan not included on the map?
Because this site isn't finished! Be patient, I'll add all The Beatles' tour dates over time, but it's not a quick process.
Any thoughts about making all these map points into Google Earth KMZ tours?
Not really, no. I might do when the site's finished, but not before then. It's beyond my know-how at the moment, but if I get some spare time I might look into it. As it stands I've got far too much else to do currently.
