Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are due to perform together on 29 January at VetsAid, a benefit concert in Las Vegas, organisers have announced. It will be the former Beatles’ first joint appearance on stage since December 2024.

The pair are expected to join Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, who organises the event. The line-up also includes The Killers, The War on Drugs, St Vincent and Lucius. Proceeds will go to organisations supporting US veterans and their families.

McCartney and Starr last performed together at a McCartney concert in London in December 2024. Starr played drums on the Beatles songs “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Helter Skelter”.

Walsh said he was delighted that his “musical heroes Paul and Ringo” would take part in VetsAid’s tenth edition. He also said surprise guests would appear.
