With fans gathering around the stage to see McCartney perform, the singer opened his set by speaking Spanish to the crowd. “¡Hola México! ¿Quiúbole, banda? Tonight I’m going to try to speak a little Spanish. It’s awesome to be here again.” Showing just how much they loved McCartney, some fans even dressed up in outfits paying homage to the 1967 hit album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Throughout the evening, McCartney performed songs like “Letting Go”, “Let ‘Em In”, and “Band On The Run.” But when it came time to sing “Get Back”, the singer shocked fans when he welcomed St. Vincent to the stage.
While receiving a warm welcome from the crowd, St. Vincent spent more time on the stage when she returned for the mesmerizing finale. And she wasn’t alone as McCartney also brought out Jack White. Already performing at the festival, White, Vincent, and McCartney joined forces for a special performance of “The End.”

The Songs Paul McCartney Wished He Wrote
Outside of his masterful performance, McCartney opened up about his amazing career in the music industry with Far Out Magazine. While not holding too many regrets, the singer did admit there were songs he wished he had written. And one of them happened to be from Sting. “There’s always a couple that I hear that I think I’d have liked (to have written). I liked Sting’s ‘Fields Of Gold’, and I thought, ‘Y’know what, I should have written that.’”
Grateful for the kind words, Sting responded to the statement, insisting, “Paul McCartney says he wishes he would have written ‘Fields Of Gold.’ There are more than a few of Paul’s that I wish I would have written. To hear this from someone I owe my life to is very special. Thank you, Paul.”
