Paul McCartney Is The Best Choice For First Concert At Citi Field

He played the very first concert at Shea Stadium 44 years ago. Now, a touring industry website reports that Paul McCartney will perform the very first show at its replacement: Citi Field.

The site TicketNews.com says that “various reliable touring industry executives” have the ex-Beatle baptizing the sterling new stadium as a music venue with shows on July 17th and 18th, with a possible third performance added on the 21st.

Last fall, McCartney appeared at the final concert held at the now demolished Shea, as a guest star for Billy Joel’s series of shows there.

The proposed new concerts would take place during a break in the Mets’ schedule, between July 12th and 27th.
