The show at the 1,200-capacity Fonda Theatre featured a setlist drawing heavily from McCartney’s work with The Beatles and Wings, with the legendary musician briefly poking fun at President Donald Trump’s dance moves, which drew boos from the audience.<\/p>\n The contrast between the large-scale political demonstrations and this exclusive concert highlights the diverse ways individuals seek solace and express their values during times of social and political unrest. The appeal of a shared cultural experience, like a McCartney performance, can offer a sense of community and upliftment for attendees.<\/p>\n Stevie Nicks, Taylor Swift, Margot Robbie, Billie Eilish, and Ringo Starr were among the celebrities who attended the concert. McCartney referenced the Fonda Theatre’s history, noting it originally opened 100 years ago under the name ‘The Music Box.’ While the setlist included classics like ‘Help!’, ‘Something,’ and ‘Band on the Run,’ some of The Beatles’ more overtly political songs, such as ‘Revolution’ and McCartney’s ‘Pipes of Peace,’ were not performed.<\/p>\n A legendary British musician, singer-songwriter, and record and film producer who gained worldwide fame as a member of the rock band The Beatles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n An American singer-songwriter who is best known for her work as a solo artist and as a member of the rock band Fleetwood Mac.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"An](\"https:\/\/nationaltoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/not-wordpress\/2026\/03\/69cab7d8a03c0.jpg\")
