Paul McCartney to Close Out Candlestick Park

Paul McCartney to Close Out Candlestick Park

After 54 years of concerts and games, San Francisco’s Candlestick Park is scheduled to shut down. To commemorate the closing of the stadium, musician Sir Paul McCartney will perform at the venue on August 14.

This concert marks the end of his sold-out worldwide Out There tour. Tickets went on sale Monday May 5 at a face value of $50 to $275 for general admission, though Forbes Magazine is predicting them to be “the most expensive concert tickets of the summer.”

This will be the first time McCartney has played Candlestick Park since the final Beatles performance on August 29, 1966. He was personally invited by San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee after his Outside Lands gig in 2013.

“Sir Paul McCartney is a class act, and I am very grateful that he’s coming back to Candlestick to help us give this iconic landmark the goodbye it deserves,” Lee told the SF Chronicle. “To add a concert like this, one that’s not only just great on a purely entertainment level, but one that is rooted in the city’s history and musical history, is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event.”

The set list will include material from McCartney’s time in the Beatles as well as his solo career and his band Wings.

The stadium is scheduled for demolition in 2015, and will be replaced by a shopping district.
