Joe Walsh announces star-studded VetsAid concert
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will join Joe Walsh onstage at what organizers call the 10th VetsAid benefit concert, set for 6 p.m. Jan. 29, 2027, at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Walsh and VetsAid announced the lineup this week.
The Killers, the War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius also will play full sets. Walsh will share the stage with McCartney, Starr and additional, still-unannounced guests.
General sales begin at 10 a.m. Friday at axs.com. Veterans who qualify can get exclusive tickets and pricing; details are on the site.
Walsh, a member of the Eagles, whose Sphere residency began in September 2024, said in a statement: “This city has taken such good care of me and my family that it would be my privilege to give back to the large veteran community here and to their families.”
VetsAid said all net proceeds will go to charities that serve veterans. It plans to limit 2027 grants to organizations based in Nevada or operating in the state; applications are open at vetsaid.org/grants. The nonprofit, which held its first concert Sept. 20, 2017, in Fairfax, Va., has disbursed more than $5 million in grants, according to the announcement.
Fans can donate through fandiem.com/vetsaid for a chance to win a trip to the concert that includes airfare, lodging, two seats and a coffee date with Walsh the day before the show.
