Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on the same Las Vegas stage. Read that again, because it does not happen often, and it is not happening as a tour.
Joe Walsh announced VetsAid 2027 on November 9, and the tenth edition of his veterans benefit lands at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday, January 29, 2027, at 6 p.m. The public ticket sale opens tomorrow, Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. PT.
A Super-Set, Not a Beatles Tour
Here is the detail most headlines are skipping. McCartney and Starr are not playing full solo sets, and this is not a Beatles reunion tour.
They join Walsh himself in a billed super-set, with more surprise special guests promised. The full sets come from The Killers, The War on Drugs, St Vincent and Lucius.
That billing still makes this a genuine moment. PEOPLE notes the two surviving Beatles last shared a stage in London in 2024, at the final show of McCartney's Got Back tour, their first onstage reunion in five years.
Walsh, a Kennedy Center Honor recipient, put the scale in his own words: "for our tenth anniversary we have our biggest show ever!" He also called McCartney and Starr "my musical heroes" in the announcement.
The Ticket Clock Starts Tomorrow at 10 A.M.
The arena sits inside MGM Grand at 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, and the announcement says it seats as many as 16,800. Against that demand, a 10 a.m. start is not a suggestion.
- Show: Friday, January 29, 2027, at 6 p.m., MGM Grand Garden Arena
- Public sale: Friday, November 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. PT, at axs.com

Set an alarm for 9:45 a.m. and be logged in before the sale opens. Vegas hometown icons The Killers on the same bill means local demand stacks on top of Beatles demand.
Every Net Dollar Stays With Nevada Veterans This Time
As every year, all net proceeds go directly to veterans services charities selected through a vetting process coordinated with the Combined Arms Institute. VetsAid has disbursed more than $5,000,000 in grants to date.
The fresh twist for 2027 is local. VetsAid plans to disburse grants exclusively to organizations based in Nevada or with operations on the ground in Nevada, and grant applications are open now at vetsaid.org/grants.
Walsh is a Gold Star son himself. His father, a flight instructor for the first United States operational jet powered aircraft, the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, died on active duty on Okinawa when Walsh was 20 months old.
There is also a second door in. The Fandiem Donate-to-Win at fandiem.com/vetsaid is live now, offering an all-expenses paid trip, two Friends and Family seats, VIP lounge access, and a coffee date with Walsh the day before the show.
- Be ready at axs.com before 10 a.m. PT tomorrow, Friday, November 13.
- Veterans, check the exclusive tickets and pricing on axs.com first.
- Nevada veterans organizations, get a grant application in at vetsaid.org/grants.
One night, two Beatles, a hometown Killers set, and Nevada veterans keeping the proceeds. That is the event of the winter, and the clock starts tomorrow.
