IMAGINE 2026
SAVE THE DATE: IMAGINE 2026 For more than 40 years, IMAGINE has been a beloved Springfield tradition, bringing our community together to celebrate the timeless music of John Lennon and The Beatles. Since 2009, the historic Gillioz Theatre has proudly served as IMAGINE’s home. What began in 1985 as a heartfelt tribute has grown into the Gillioz’s largest annual fundraiser, supporting the preservation of this iconic 1926 theatre and its year-round programming. IMAGINE features an ever-evolving lineup of talented local and regional musicians who reimagine Lennon and Beatles classics through their own creative lens. The result is an electrifying night that honors the music while keeping it vibrant and relevant for new generations. Mark your calendar and plan to join us for an unforgettable evening of legendary songs, community connection, and meaningful impact. _________________________________ ELEVATE YOUR EXPERIENCE with VIP (Over $125 value for just $49): Available July 1, 2026 – November 1, 2026 VIP TICKET INCLUDES: One general admission ticket (reserved balcony seat ticket +$5) Early entry at 6:00PM Commemorative t-shirt Commemorative sticker Commemorative poster Commemorative ticket in protective sleeve 12 raffle tickets Access to the 26 Club Bar _________________________________ Group Ticket Bundles – Call 417-863-9491 to inquire/purchase!
