Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will share a stage again in January, giving Beatles fans a rare opportunity to see the two surviving members of the band perform together. The occasion is the 10th anniversary of VetsAid, Joe Walsh’s annual benefit concert for U.S. military veterans.
The show is set for January 29, 2027, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. McCartney and Starr will be joined by an eclectic lineup featuring The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius, with more performers still to be announced.
The VetsAid appearance will mark McCartney and Starr’s first time sharing a stage since December 20, 2024, when Starr made a surprise appearance during the final night of McCartney’s Got Back tour at London’s O2 Arena. The two Beatles performed “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Helter Skelter.”
They’ve since reunited in the studio, too. Starr appeared on McCartney’s latest album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, marking the former bandmates’ first-ever duet on record with “Home to Us,” a reflection on their shared Liverpool roots.
For Walsh, the 2027 concert represents a milestone for an event he’s organized annually since 2017. The Eagles guitarist — who is also Starr’s brother-in-law — announced the lineup on social media, saying he’d “hit the jackpot” with the bookings.
VetsAid directs proceeds toward established veterans’ charities, with an emphasis on organizations providing comprehensive support for former service members and their families, including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual care. The 2027 concert will benefit veterans in Nevada.
General ticket sales begin November 13 at 10 a.m. local time. Presales start November 10 at 10 a.m. local time.
