Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to Reunite for Joe Walsh’s VetsAid

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are set to reunite on stage for Joe Walsh’s VetsAid concert on January 29th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, consequence.net reported.

The annual veterans benefit organized by the Eagles guitarist surprised fans with the announcement of a joint appearance by the two living Beatles members. Walsh stated on social media that he had “hit the jackpot” with the line-up, adding that more acts will be announced soon, according to faroutmagazine.co.uk.

The bill for the Las Vegas event also features The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent, and Lucius. Proceeds from the show will benefit Nevada-based veterans and organizations providing holistic care for veterans and their families, as reported by faroutmagazine.co.uk.

Tickets for the event become available through several phases. A veterans and active-duty pre-sale opens Tuesday, November 10th at 10:00 a.m., followed by an artist pre-sale on Wednesday, November 11th at 10:00 a.m. using the code BATTLEBORN, according to consequence.net. The general public on-sale begins Friday, November 13th at 10:00 a.m. via AXS.

The upcoming performance marks a rare live collaboration for the two musicians. McCartney and Starr last shared a stage on December 20th, 2024, when Starr made an unannounced guest appearance during the final show of McCartney’s Got Back tour at London’s O2 Arena, where they performed “Helter Skelter” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

Their recent work together extends into the recording studio. Starr contributed drumming and provided vocals alongside McCartney on the track “Home to Us” from McCartney’s solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, released in May. Walsh has organized the VetsAid benefit annually since 2017.
