The Casbah Club and name change to the Beatles
By March 1960, Lennon and Sutcliffe came up with a new name: the Beatles.[95] The Beatles (after several line-up changes, including adding Mona's son Pete Best on drums) continued to perform around Liverpool and in Hamburg, Germany for several years, before being signed to Parlophone Records in 1962. After their signing, the Beatles achieved worldwide fame and became one of the most popular and successful musical artists of all time, before breaking up in 1970.
