One of Liverpool’s best-known music venues is getting a temporary new identity tied to one of the city’s most famous artists. An announcement this week confirmed that The Jacaranda will briefly operate under the name The Maccaranda as part of a collaboration connected to Paul McCartney.
The venue has deep roots in Beatles history. Long before global success, the band members frequently visited and performed at the Slater Street club during their early years in Liverpool’s music scene. The temporary name change recognizes that historic connection while also marking the release of McCartney’s upcoming studio album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, which arrives on May 29.
The venue’s owners said the partnership is designed to celebrate Liverpool’s musical legacy and the vital role smaller grassroots clubs played in shaping artists who later became international stars.
Fans visiting the venue during the promotion will see updated exterior signage, themed decorations, and exclusive merchandise linked to the collaboration, alongside a special themed cocktail called the “Maccarita.” The project has already drawn significant attention from Beatles fans and music tourists planning trips to the city.
