On August 29, 1966, The Beatles played their final live concert in the United Stated to a sold out crowd of screaming fans at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park. Now, some 44 years later, the legendary band’s bass player – Paul McCartney – will return to the city by the bay for another ballpark show, this time at AT&T Park on July 10. In addition to the Frisco date, Macca has also added a show three nights later at the Rinto Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT, a state that he’s never played before. Tickets for both shows will go on sale this Monday, May 24.

Finally, psychedelic rockers Akron/Family are asking their fans to contribute their own homemade videos for any song of their liking off their latest LP Set Em Wild, Set Em Free and “set them to the weirdest, simplest, or funniest visual material they like”. All entries should be sent to akakdreamtime@gmail.com, and will be posted to their Vimeo page for the project, where you can currently check out a bunch of submissions.
