QUEBEC — Sir Paul McCartney will sing on the Plains of Abraham on July 20 as part of the celebrations surrounding Quebec City’s 400th birthday.

“I am doing a gig, a big gig, in Quebec City on July 20 to help Quebec celebrate their 400th anniversary,” the former Beatle said in a videotaped message from London on Monday.

“We’re coming to Quebec for the first time. We’re going to have a great time and I would love to see you there.”

Tickets will be free.
