Sir Paul McCartney has announced that he will perform at Quebec City's 400th anniversary celebration this summer.
The former Beatle will help the Canadian city mark its fourth century at a concert on July 20 on the Plains of Abraham.
The show will be McCartney's only North American performance this year and is his first concert in Canada since 2005, reports the Vancouver Sun.
"I am doing a big gig in Quebec City," McCartney said in a video message promoting the event. "That is to help Quebec celebrate their 400th anniversary - that's a long time!"
