Joe Walsh’s VetsAid To Hit Vegas With Paul and Ringo

Joe Walsh has hit the jackpot with a heavyweight edition of the VetsAid benefit, the 10th iteration of which will feature surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, The Killers, The War on Drugs, St. Vincent and Lucius.

Going down Jan. 29 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the show is a homecoming of sorts for the nearly 79-year-old Walsh, who’s played 60 shows in Sin City with the Eagles.

“Having spent the past two years at the Sphere and working with the hardworking people of Las Vegas, I want to show them my gratitude and respect,” Walsh explained. “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.”

As for the Beatles connection, it comes with a family twist: Starr and Walsh are brothers-in-law, married to sisters Barbara and Marjorie Bach.

Public tickets to VetsAid 2027 go on sale Nov. 13. Veterans will have access to special ticket options and pricing.

Since its 2017 debut, in Fairfax, Virginia, the concert has traveled to Houston, San Diego, Tacoma, Washington, Columbus, Ohio, and Walsh’s hometown of Wichita, Kansas. Past performers have included the Zac Brown Band, Keith Urban, James Taylor, Chris Stapleton, ZZ Top, Nine Inch Nails and Walsh’s Eagles bandmate Don Henley.

VetsAid has distributed more than $5m in grants to date. For 2027, it plans to direct all net proceeds to organizations based in Nevada or operating in the state. Grant applications can be found on the nonprofit’s website.

The event is again partnering with Fandiem and Bandsintown on a Donate-to-Win campaign, through which fans can contribute for a chance to score two seats in the Friends and Family section, VIP lounge access and coffee with Walsh the day before the concert, plus round-trip airfare and lodging.
