Paul McCartney Brings Healing and Classic Hits to Intimate LA Show

Paul McCartney performed a special, intimate concert at Hollywood’s historic Fonda Theatre on March 28, 2026, drawing a star-studded audience that included Taylor Swift, Margot Robbie, Stevie Nicks, Billie Eilish, and former Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr. The 1,200-seat venue hosted the second of two sold-out nights where McCartney played a two-hour set of beloved Beatles and Wings songs. Although the evening took place amid nationwide protests against President Donald Trump, McCartney limited political remarks to a lighthearted jab at Trump’s well-known dance moves. The crowd, which had surrendered their phones beforehand, reacted with both laughter and boos. Attendees described the show as a source of comfort and unity during a tense political moment in America. Many viewed the performance as an act of artistic resistance, emphasizing music’s role in promoting community and hope. Fans were treated to timeless hits like “Blackbird,” “Help!,” “Something,” “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” “Band on the Run,” and “Let Me Roll It.” Emotional highlights came during “Hey Jude” and “Let It Be,” with audience members singing along and some in tears. McCartney announced that his upcoming 19th studio album, titled “The Boys of Dungeon Lane,” will be released in May, adding anticipation to an evening already rich with nostalgia and optimism.
