Yesterday, The British Invasion confirmed the band will have its last regularly scheduled performance at the United Kingdom pavilion in Epcot on April 30.
The British Invasion is a Beatles tribute band that has regularly played at the U.K. pavilion for more than 15 years, with a variety of performers playing the Fab Four. In addition to Beatles songs such as “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Can’t Buy Me Love,” The British Invasion also performs other English songs of the 1960s, ‘70s and ’80s.
The British Invasion posted this message on its Facebook fan page:

It has been an honor to perform for you and Disney all these years!We have given our notice to Disney Talent and Casting that we wouldn’t be playing after April 30th some time ago.
