The Beatles' 1964 tour of Australasia

The Beatles' 1964 tour of Australasia was a several week tour performed by the British rock band the Beatles as a part of their 1964 world tour.[1][page needed] It was their first and only tour of Australia and New Zealand. The tour was notable particularly because Jimmie Nicol had replaced a hospitalised Ringo Starr until the Beatles drummer was able to rejoin the tour from the Melbourne dates onward.[2][3]
