More than $5 million in grants has been disbursed since 2017, and that total is set to grow when Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr share a stage in Las Vegas.

The two former Beatles members will join Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh for the 10th annual VetsAid concert. The event is scheduled for January 29, 2027, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

This will mark only the second time in the current decade that McCartney and Starr perform together.

VetsAid was founded in 2017 by Walsh, a longtime Eagles member and former resident of Encinitas, California. The organization raises funds for nonprofits that support U.S. military veterans and their families. Walsh, whose father died while serving as a military pilot in Okinawa, has performed regularly in Las Vegas with the Eagles at The Sphere.

In a statement released Monday, Walsh said he wanted to show his gratitude to the city that has taken good care of his family. He described the 10th anniversary event as the organization's biggest show ever.

The concert lineup includes full sets from The Killers, The War On Drugs, St. Vincent, and Lucius. The War On Drugs and Lucius also performed at the seventh annual VetsAid event, which took place three years ago in Chula Vista, California.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, November 13, at axs.com. Prices start at $200, excluding fees and taxes. An artist presale begins Wednesday at 11 a.m. PST. U.S. military veterans will have access to exclusive pricing. Proceeds from the 2027 edition will go exclusively to organizations based in Nevada or with operations on the ground in the state. VetsAid is partnering with Fandiem and Bandsintown for the event. Fans can donate online for a chance to win a trip to the concert, which includes airfare, lodging, VIP access, and a coffee date with Walsh.
