Manila Mayhem: The Beatles’ Disaster in the Philippines

On July 3, 1966, the Beatles landed in Manila, The Philippines,
for the final stop on the first leg of their world tour. But two
days later, after a misunderstanding with the country's first
family, the band and their entourage narrowly escaped with their
lives. 


The third part of our touring years series dives into this
harrowing moment — an event that would kick off a summer of
strife, and reinforce the Beatles' determination to stop touring
for good.
