Though the 49ers were trying to entice Paul McCartney to play at their new Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, McCartney decided he will play at Candlestick Park in what will be the last event at the storied stadium.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “the former Beatle said Thursday that he’ll play the final show at the Stick on Aug. 14, ending a back-and-forth drama that had the city competing against the 49ers for the right to play host to the music legend.”
“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,” San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said. “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.”
