Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr Set to Join Joe Walsh at VetsAid 2027
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are set to join Joe Walsh onstage at VetsAid 2027, the benefit concert for veterans in Las Vegas on Friday, 29 January 2027. Walsh's official website announced the line-up on 9 November 2026.
The two former Beatles last shared a stage at McCartney's final Got Back concert in London in December 2024. At that show, Starr played drums on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Helter Skelter." Rolling Stone reported the Las Vegas plans on the same day as the announcement.
The concert takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and is due to start at 6:00 p.m. local time. It is the 10th VetsAid benefit. Walsh has booked McCartney and Starr as special guests, and they will appear in a "super-set," a single extended set in which Walsh plays with them.
Other performers will play full sets of their own. The announced line-up includes the Killers, the War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, 13 November 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time through AXS, the ticketing platform. Each ticket costs US$200, not counting taxes and fees. Veterans will have their own tickets and pricing.
The money raised has a set destination. All net proceeds, meaning the money left after costs are paid, will go to veteran-related charities coordinated with the Combined Arms Institute.
For anyone hoping to attend, the key dates are the sale on 13 November and the show on 29 January. Those who want to see the super-set should check the seating and ticket details through AXS when sales open.
