Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to reunite at VetsAid in Las Vegas

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are scheduled to perform together at Joe Walsh’s VetsAid concert on January 29, 2027, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The appearance would reunite the former Beatles bandmates onstage for the first time since December 2024.

• The announced bill includes Walsh, The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius.
• Veterans and active-duty personnel presales are scheduled to begin November 10; general sales are due to start November 13.
• Walsh says the event will support veterans and their families, with VetsAid planning Nevada-focused grants in 2027.

What’s scheduled at VetsAid 2027

The January 29 concert is billed as a rare reunion for McCartney and Starr. Rolling Stone reported that Walsh invited the pair to join him onstage, while his announcement also teased other surprise guests. The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius are among the other acts named so far. Consequence reported that additional performers would be announced later, so the complete bill has not been set out.

The Rock Revival reported that VetsAid plans to direct its 2027 grants exclusively to organizations based in Nevada or operating there, and that applications are open. Far Out Magazine likewise reported that the event is intended to benefit veterans in Nevada. VetsAid’s tenth installment follows its inaugural concert in Fairfax, Virginia, in 2017, according to The Rock Revival, which also reported that the organization had distributed more than $5 million in grants to date.

When McCartney and Starr last performed together

The pair last shared a live stage on December 20, 2024, at McCartney’s O2 Arena concert in London, according to Consequence, The Rock Revival and Far Out. Starr joined McCartney for “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Helter Skelter.” Rolling Stone described the appearance as part of the finale of McCartney’s Got Back concert and quoted Starr saying he had enjoyed playing with his old mate before it was time to go home.

They have also collaborated in the studio since that show. Consequence and Far Out reported that Starr played drums on “Home to Us,” a song on McCartney’s album The Boys of Dungeon Lane; Consequence described it as the pair’s first duet.

VetsAid ticket dates and reported price

Consequence reported that a presale for veterans and active-duty personnel is scheduled for November 10, 2026, at 10 a.m., followed by an artist presale on November 11 at 10 a.m. Far Out also placed the first presale at 10 a.m. local time. General ticket sales are scheduled to begin November 13; Rolling Stone gave the time as 10 a.m. Pacific Time and reported a starting price of $200 before taxes and fees. The Rock Revival also reported the $200 starting price.

What it means for the Las Vegas benefit

The announced bill brings McCartney and Starr’s planned reunion into a benefit event Walsh says is intended to give back to Las Vegas veterans and their families. Attendees can expect a mix of the named acts and, according to Walsh’s announcement, additional surprise guests; organizers have not yet named the full lineup. The ticket reports differ on the time basis for some presales, so buyers should check the event’s ticketing information for the applicable time.
