Paul McCartney played new songs to a group of 50 competition-winning Beatles fans at Abbey Road Studios on May 5, 2026. The event took place in Studio Two, which was decorated with an armchair, a guitar, and a bookcase of McCartney memorabilia, creating an intimate atmosphere.
McCartney, 83, described the experience as 'a bit emotional' and performed tracks from his upcoming album, as well as Beatles classics. The fans were selected through a contest held by the BBC.
The performance was part of a promotional event for McCartney's new album, which is set for release later this year. No specific release date has been announced.
