The two albums that changed the world:
The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds & The Beatles' Revolver.
In 1966, the ceiling came off popular music. Within twelve weeks of each other, two albums changed everything. 🤯
📆 On May 16, 1966, Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys redefined what a pop record could feel like — orchestral, intimate, vulnerable, cinematic.
📆 On August 5, 1966, Revolver by The Beatles rewrote the rules of recording itself — tape loops, backward guitars, Indian textures, songs that didn't behave like songs anymore.
6️⃣0️⃣ Sixty years later… We're bringing them together.
👉 Saturday 4:30-7:30pm, May 23, Main Stage, just before Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone.

👉 And they pushed rock from teenage dance music into art.
That's what 1966 was. And this year marks the 60th anniversary of both.
