McCartney Confirms Citi Field Concert

0609mccartney.jpg The rumor is true, Paul McCartney will be the first musician to grace the stage at Citi Field, as he was all those years ago at Shea. The Daily News confirms the shows will take place on July 17th and 18th, rain or shine. A press release was sent out earlier today in which he declared, "I am really excited about playing Citi Field—The Beatles were the first to play at Shea Stadium and along with Billy Joel, I was the last to sing at the old Shea. So to be the first to play this stadium is incredible. I am really looking forward to a buzzing show." Fans of Macca better stand by on Monday June 15th, tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. that day, exclusively at www.507TIXX.com and by phone at 718-507-TIXX. Meanwhile, if you think you have what it takes to be the 5th Beatle, get psyched for The Beatles: Rock Band—the trailer even includes the Beatles' Shea concert!

Um, are there really a stadium's worth of people who would go to this? I find that shocking.

I am so tired of McCartney. I love it when Craig Ferguson talks about him and then shows a photo of Angela Lansbury. He hasn't made any decent music in decades and still thinks he's hot stuff. Boooorriiing.

McCartney puts on the best live show ever.
Saw him at MSG in 2005.
Simply amazing.
These tickets are going to be expensive....
I need to go to this....

Citi Field has a stage? Is it in the bullpen?

It's not in the bullpen. Those are called stooges.
