(WSB Radio) — Nearly 44 years after playing Atlanta as a member of The Beatles, Paul McCartney will play Piedmont Park this summer.
The concert, August 15, will be a benefit for the Piedmont Conservancy and was announced Wednesday at the park’s Magnolia Hall.
McCartney’s initial appearance in Atlanta with The Beatles was Aug. 18, 1965 at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. The concert drew an estimated 34,000 fans and lasted about 30 minutes.
McCartney, now 67, was back in Atlanta in the mid 1970’s as part of his famed Wings Over the World tour.
Most recently, McCartney played a sold out show at Philips Arena in 2005.
General admission $79.50 tickets will go on sale Monday through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. But American Express card holders and park members will get first crack at the tickets when they go on sale Thursday morning at 10.
