Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are ready for another reunion.
On Tuesday, Nov. 10, rocker Joe Walsh unveiled the lineup for his annual VetsAid festival in 2027 — and the event includes a “super-set” with the former Beatles and “more surprise special guests.”
“Having spent the past two years at the Sphere and working with the hardworking people of Las Vegas, I want to show them my gratitude and respect,” the Eagles member and festival founder, 78, said in a press release. “This city has taken such good care of me and my family that it would be my privilege to give back to the large veteran community here and to their families.”
“We have our biggest show ever! Join me on stage with my musical heroes Paul and Ringo (and more surprise guests), Vegas’s hometown icons The Killers, the sublime St Vincent and my beloved The War on Drugs and Lucius who are the only acts I’ve ever invited back to VetsAid,” continued Walsh.
The festival — which donates all net proceeds to veterans’ services and charities — will take place on Jan. 29 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, Nov. 13 at 10 a.m. via AXS.
Starr, 86, and McCartney, 84, last reunited in London in 2024 for the final show of McCartney’s Got Back Tour. The performance marked their first reunion on stage in five years, and they performed “Helter Skelter” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise).”

In an interview with The New York Times in July 2025, McCartney said that as the only living members of the Beatles, he and Starr share a special bond.
“With John and George not here, I think we realize nothing lasts forever,” McCartney told the outlet. “So we grasp onto what we have now because we realize that it’s very special. It’s something hardly anyone else has. In fact, in our case, it’s something no one else has. There’s only me and Ringo, and we’re the only people who can share those memories.”
In 2003, Starr spoke with AARP magazine about his bond with McCartney and said he’s “the brother I never had.”
“Paul loves me as much as I love him,” he said.
In 2023, Starr and McCartney released “Now and Then,” the final Beatles song. Earlier this year, however, McCartney released a duet with Starr called “Home to Us” on his latest studio album The Boys of Dungeon Lane.
