Acrisure lists door times, mobile-only entry, and bag policy on its event page. Read it before you go to avoid delays at security.
What to expect on the night
Recent legs leaned into “Hey Jude,” “Let It Be,” “Band on the Run,” “Live and Let Die,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Blackbird,” and “Maybe I’m Amazed,” plus a few rotating surprises. McCartney’s long-running band features Paul “Wix” Wickens, Rusty Anderson, Brian Ray, and Abe Laboriel Jr, with the Hot City Horns adding brass firepower.
