Apple Sets Private Apple Park Finale for 50th Anniversary With British Invasion Tease

The rumored booking points to Apple leaning into Beatles lore that Steve Jobs often praised.

Overview

  • Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple will end its weeks-long 50th birthday run with a private finale at Apple Park for employees and invited guests.
  • Gurman hinted the headliner was part of the British Invasion, which outlets interpret as a strong sign Paul McCartney is the likely performer.
  • The Apple Park Visitor Center lists an early 3 p.m. PT closing on Tuesday, March 31, reinforcing expectations of a closed corporate event.
  • Apple has not confirmed the event, the performer, or the exact date, and the company’s 50th birthday falls on April 1.
  • The choice of a Beatle would carry symbolic weight given Jobs’ public admiration for the band and Apple’s history with Apple Corps and the Beatles’ arrival on iTunes.
