Beatles Fest West 2010 will be held this year at San Francisco's Fort Mason Oct. 8-10, moving from its previous location at Masonic Temple.

The lineup is still being assembled. Musical acts scheduled to appear will be the Sun Kings and the Cryers on Friday and the Plastic Fauxno Band and the Return on Saturday and Sunday and the Mike Tyler Group on Sunday. Christina Trillo, who was a big hit last year, is scheduled for all three days.

The Saturday concert by the Plastic Fauxno Band will be a tribute to John Lennon as he might have performed on tour in 1982. The members include Drew Harrison of the Sun Kings, Tiran Porter of the White Album Ensemble and formerly of the Doobie Brothers, Donn Spindt of the Rubinoos and session musician Tim Gorman.  

Also, author Jeff Walker will discuss his new book, "Let's Put the Beatles Back Together Again, 1970-2010." (Full disclosure: We'll be there appearing as well.)
