PHILADELPHIA — While the Phillies are on break for the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in San Diego, California, on Tuesday, July 12, you can catch legendary Beatle Sir Paul McCartney rock the stage as he brings his "One On One" tour to Citizens Bank Park.
The show will feature hits from The Beatles, Wings and McCartney's solo career. The 73-year-old last performed in Philadelphia at a sold-out show at the Wells Fargo Center on June 21, 2015. Songs on the set list included: "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Blackbird," "Eleanor Rigby," "Band on the Run," "Let It Be," "Live and Let Die" and "Hey Jude."
McCartney's debut performance at Citizens Bank Park will come three days after Billy Joel performs for the third year in a row and fifth time overall at the 12-year-old venue. Both events are sponsored by Live Nation.
