Joe Walsh has announced that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will be his special guests when he headlines VetsAid 2027 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Jan. 27. The Eagles musician unveiled the benefit concert's lineup on Instagram.

Other acts on the bill include the Killers, St. Vincent, the War On Drugs and Lucius. The announcement also promised additional surprises. All proceeds will support veterans in Nevada and their families.

Walsh and Starr have longstanding musical and family connections. Walsh co-produced Starr's 1983 album Old Wave and has performed in some versions of his All Starr Band. They became brothers-in-law when Walsh married Marjorie Bach in 2008; her sister Barbara is married to Starr.

Both Lucius and the War On Drugs appeared at VetsAid in 2023. For the 2027 concert, veterans and active-duty service members can access a presale beginning 11/10 at 10 a.m. Pacific time. General ticket sales begin 11/13 at 10 a.m.
