Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to headline Las Vegas charity concert

The surviving Beatles will reunite on 29 January 2027 for the 10th anniversary of the VetsAid event.

Paul McCartney, 84, and Ringo Starr, 86, will perform together at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on 29 January 2027, according to a Times of India report. The two surviving members of The Beatles are the joint headliners for the VetsAid charity concert.

The event celebrates the 10th anniversary of VetsAid, an annual benefit founded in 2017 by Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh to raise money for military veterans and their families. This marks the first time the concert will be held in Las Vegas.

Other performers include The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent, and Lucius. Walsh, 78, said in an official statement that it would be a privilege to give back to the veteran community in the city.

All proceeds remaining after expenses will be distributed to organisations supporting military veterans and active-duty service members in partnership with the Combined Arms Institute. Tickets start at $200 before taxes and fees.

The musicians last performed together during the final show of McCartney's Got Back tour in London in late 2024. Pre-sales for veterans and active-duty military members begin on 10 November, with general public sales opening on 13 November.
