Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr Set for VetsAid Reunion

Former Beatles bandmates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are set to reunite for a special live performance at the 10th annual VetsAid benefit concert. The event, organized by Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on January 29, 2027.

A Rare Onstage Reunion

This upcoming performance marks a significant reunion for the two surviving Beatles. They last shared a stage in December 2024. Starr appeared as a surprise guest during the finale of McCartney’s Got Back tour at London’s O2 Arena. They performed “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Helter Skelter.” The VetsAid event will feature a “super-set” from the pair alongside Walsh.

Walsh, who is Ringo Starr’s brother-in-law, has spearheaded VetsAid since 2017 to support U.S. military veterans and their families. The 2027 edition focuses on supporting the veteran community in Nevada. “Having spent the past two years at the Sphere and working with the hardworking people of Las Vegas, I want to show them my gratitude and respect,” Walsh said in a statement. “This city has taken such good care of me and my family that it would be my privilege to give back to the large veteran community here and to their families.”

The VetsAid 2027 Lineup

The concert’s milestone tenth anniversary features a diverse lineup. Joining McCartney, Starr, and Walsh are:

• The Killers
• St. Vincent
• The War on Drugs
• Lucius

The organizers have indicated that additional surprise guests may be added to the bill. Tickets for the general public go on sale November 13 at 10 a.m. local time. An exclusive pre-sale for veterans and active service members begins November 10 at 10 a.m. local time.
