Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are scheduled to share a stage at VetsAid, Joe Walsh’s annual veterans benefit concert, on January 29 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The lineup also includes The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius; organizers have not announced what McCartney and Starr will perform.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are scheduled to perform together at VetsAid on January 29, bringing the two surviving Beatles to the same stage for Joe Walsh’s annual veterans benefit concert. The show is set for the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas; organizers have not said what the pair will play.
VetsAid announced the reunion on Monday, November 9, according to Consequence. The concert’s bill also includes The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius. Organizers said additional performers will be announced later, so the lineup is not yet complete.
The event is organized by Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh and raises support for veterans. Ticket sales are scheduled to begin with a veterans and active-duty presale on Tuesday, November 10, at 10 a.m., followed by an artist presale on Wednesday, November 11, at 10 a.m. The general sale is set for Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. through AXS. The source report does not specify a time zone for those sale times.
The January appearance is described as a rare reunion, rather than a full Beatles reunion. McCartney and Starr are the two surviving members of the band; the announcement confirms they are booked for the same concert, but does not detail whether they will perform a full set together or join one another for a song.
A Rare Stage Reunion for Beatles Fans
The booking puts two of the Beatles’ surviving members together in a live setting, making the concert a significant attraction beyond its benefit purpose. Their previous reported joint appearance was a brief guest appearance, while the VetsAid announcement places both on the bill for a planned performance.
The event also combines that reunion with a fundraising concert for veterans, alongside several established acts. That means the booking may draw attention to VetsAid’s cause as well as to the performers. The available announcement does not state how much money the event is expected to raise or how proceeds will be distributed.

Their Recent Onstage and Studio Work
McCartney and Starr last appeared together onstage on December 20, 2024, according to Consequence. Starr made an unannounced appearance at McCartney’s final O2 Arena concert in London on the “Got Back Tour.” The report says they performed “Helter Skelter” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
The pair have also worked together in the studio. Consequence reports that Starr played drums on “Home to Us,” a track on McCartney’s solo album The Boys of Dungeon Lane, released in May 2026. The article describes it as their first duet and says the musicians worked through some miscommunication while putting the track together.
That recent collaboration provides a precedent for the VetsAid appearance, but it does not establish what the concert performance will involve. The show is a benefit concert featuring a broader lineup, and no set list or running order has been released in the source material.
