Paul McCartney performed at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on 10 June 2011.
It was the final concert of the Up And Coming Tour, which lasted for 38 dates between March 2010 and June 2011. This show came the day after McCartney performed a private concert for Hewlett-Packard at the same venue.
In the audience on this night were special guests including Sir George Martin, Yoko Ono, Sean Ono Lennon, Olivia Harrison, and Neil Sedaka.
McCartney’s band was Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens (vocals, keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica), Brian Ray (vocals, guitar, bass), Rusty Anderson (vocals, guitar), and Abe Laboriel Jr (vocals, drums).
McCartney had previously performed at the MGM Grand Garden Arena during the Driving World Tour on 5 and 6 April and 26 October 2002, and during the US Tour on 25 and 26 November 2005. He returned there on 21 September 2013 for the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
