Pepperland

Founded in 2011, Pepperland is an Edmonton rock & roll band specializing in the music of The Beatles. Rather than approaching the project as impersonators, the group celebrates the music and the spirit of The Beatles - and what might have been had The Beatles resumed touring into the 1970s and beyond. From theatres and festivals, to casinos and nightclubs, to theme parties and private events - Pepperland continues to bring this iconic music to a wide range of stages across Alberta… and the vibe is always fun, friendly, and ‘Fab’. Celebrating 15 years on stage in 2026!
